DESCRIPTION

13       Updatenews  submits  all those articles that have  been  stored  within
14       NewsCache's  outgoing-queue.  If necessary the ActiveDB will be updated
15       (see the -a option to force the update). Afterwards  retrieves all  the
16       articles  from  the  newsgroups listed in the PrefetchFile (This can be
17       configured in newscache.conf).

OPTIONS

20       These programs follow the usual GNU  command  line  syntax,  with  long
21       options  starting  with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary of options is
22       included below.

26
27       -v, --version
28              Show version of program.
29
30       -a, --active
31              Force the prefetch the active data base. Updatenews first inval‐

36
37       -o, --over

39
40       -l, --lock-group
41              Always   lock  the newsgroup while prefetching it. This improves
42              the performance of update- news slightly, but  nobody  else  can
43              read this newsgroup while prefetching.
44
45       -w, --workers #
46              Use  #  workers for prefetching. Each worker is assigned its own
47              newsgroup to prefetch.
