Let's assume you have no need for your prior accounting information...

$ SET ACCOUNTING/NEW_FILE/ENABLE=IMAGE

Execute the UUCP command(s) which fail.

$ ACCOUNTING/SINCE=TODAY

Post that output and let's see if there's anything revealing in there.

Also, you can $ SET ACCOUNTING/DISABLE=IMAGE because /ENABLE=IMAGE can
become a resource hog.



Doing so now.



I disabled TERM/INQ on login in SYLOGIN and the abort went away (ACCOUNTING didn't have anything useful to say).   I know I can disable it per-line/per-use but this was the quickest test.


I've seen this screw lots of stuff.   I have stuff in my personal LOGIN.COM that configures the terminal they way I like it.   I just wrap it in the following:

      $ interactive = (f$mode() .eqs. "INTERACTIVE")
      $ network = (f$mode() .eqs. "NETWORK")
      $ batch = (f$mode() .eqs. "BATCH")

      ...

      $ if (interactive)
      $ then
      $      set terminal ...
      $ endif
