The -r option is present (but often undocumented) in every version
of UUCP I've ever seen.  It says "don't start up a uucico now, wait
for it to get started from cron."  This is usually included for
performance reasons.  Of course, if you batch, this won't matter.

The -z option says "only send back warning mail if the command exits
with nonZero status."  Not all UUCP's have it.  If you don't have -z,
try -n, which says "don't send back mail at all."  Otherwise you'll
often find that uucp (or worse yet, some user) on your machine gets
lots of mail back from remote uucps telling that the uux worked OK.
