NAME¶
nntpsend.ctl - list of sites to feed via nntpsend
DESCRIPTION¶
The file
/etc/news/nntpsend.ctl specifies the default list of sites to be
fed by
nntpsend(8).
Comments begin with a number sign (``#'') and continue through the end of the
line. Blank lines and comments are ignored. All other lines should consist of
four fields separated by a colon.
The first field is the name of the site as specified in the
newsfeeds(5)
file.
The second field should be the hostname or IP address of the remote site.
The third field, if non-empty, specifies the default tail truncation size of
site's batchfile. If this field is empty, no truncation is performed. If this
field is of the form ``maxsize-truncsize'' then it is passed to
shrinkfile as ``-m maxsize -s truncsize'', otherwise is of the form
``truncsize'' then it is passed as ``-s truncsize''.
The fourth field specifies some default flags passed to
innxmit(8). The
flag ``-a'' is always given to
innxmit and need not appear hear. If no
``-t timeout'' flag is given in this field and on the
nntpsend command
line, ``-t 180'' will be given to
innxmit.
