The "-x" flag in "uux", as in most other components of UUCP, is a
debugging flag; you say "-xN" and all debugging messages of "severity"
less than N are printed to the standard output.  There is a "-z" flag
in the changes to UUCP supplied with B news which suppresses the
execution status mail message if the status is zero; there is also a
"-n" flag to suppress it entirely, and the "-n" flag is also in vanilla
Bell System V UUCP (all together now: "It's about time!").  Most UUCPs
out there from microbox vendors probably don't have "-z" or "-n", except
for ones offering a UUCP with the USENET changes (which are in the 4.2BSD
UUCP, so systems based on 4.2BSD should have it) or ones offering System
V (and not offering it as "we took V7 or S3 and put pieces of S5, not
including UUCP, into it).
