SYNOPSIS

9       send-nntp  [  -d  ]  sitename:hostname | sitename [ sitename:hostname |
10       sitename ..  ]
11
12       send-ihave [ -d ] sitename:hostname | sitename  [  sitename:hostname  |
13       sitename ..  ]

DESCRIPTION

16       The  send-*  utilities are scripts that process the batch files written
17       by innd(8) to send Usenet articles to a remote NNTP site.
18
19       The sites to be fed may be specified by giving sitename hostname  pairs
20       on the command line.
21
22       The sitename is the label the site has in the newsfeeds file, the host‐
23       name is the real hostname of the remote site, a FQDN  (Fully  Qualified
24       Domain  Name).   Normally,  the sitename and the hostname are the same,
25       and as such don't have to be specified as sitename:hostname  pairs  but
26       just as a sitename.
27
28       send-nntp starts an innxmit to send the articles to the remote site.
29
30       send-ihave  encapsulates  the  articles in an ihave control message and
31       uses inews to send the articles to a  to.sitename  pseudo-group.  Using
32       send-ihave  is  discouraged, nobody uses it anymore and even the author
33       of this manpage is unsure as to how it actually works or used to work.
34
35       send-* expect that the  batchfile  for  a  site  is  named  <pathoutgo‐
36       ing in inn.conf>/sitename.   To prevent batchfile corruption, shlock(1)
37       is used to ``lock'' these files.
38

OPTIONS

40       -d     The ``-d'' flag causes nntpsend to send output to stdout  rather
41              than the log file <pathlog in inn.conf>/<program-name>.log.
42

NOTES

44       You  should  probably not use send-nntp, but innfeed, or if that is not
45       possible, nntpsend.
46
47       The usual flags for a batch file for send-nntp are ``Tf,Wfm''.
