10 ...]]
11
13 sendinpaths checks pathlog/path for ninpaths dump files, finds dump
14 files generated in the past report-days days, makes sure they are valid
15 by running ninpaths on each one and making sure the exit status is
16 zero, and passes them to ninpaths to generate a cumulative report. By
17 default, that report is mailed to the e-mail addresses configured at
18 the beginning of this script (by default, only one address is
19 configured: <top1000@anthologeek.net>) in order to supply the TOP1000
20 project with useful statistics. See <http://top1000.anthologeek.net/>
21 for more information.
22
23 When finished, sendinpaths deletes all dump files in pathlog/path that
24 are older than keep-days days.
25
26 For more information on how to set up ninpaths, see ninpaths(8).
27
29 -c When this flag is used, the report is also e-mailed, besides the
30 default submission addresses or those given as command-line
31 arguments, to the newsmaster's address set at configure time.
32
33 -d Enables debug messages.
34
35 -h Gives usage information.
36
37 -k keep-days
38 After having processed dump files, sendinpaths removes those that
39 are older than keep-days days. The default is 0, that is to say to
40 remove all dump files.
41
42 Setting keep-days to another value can be useful for debugging
43 purpose because it permits keeping a few dump files.
44
45 -n Don't e-mail the report; instead, just print it to standard output.
46 Don't delete old dump files.
47
48 -r report-days
49 Process dump files generated during the last report-days days. The
50 default is 32, that is to say to process all the dump files that
51 have been generated during the last 32 days (if, of course, they
52 have not been deleted yet by a previous run of sendinpaths
53 according to the value set by the -k flag).
54
55 address ...
56 E-mail the report to the mentioned address or addresses, instead of
57 the default one. Several addresses can be used, separated by
58 whitespace (sending the e-mail to your own e-mail address can be
59 useful for debugging purpose, to check that everything works fine).
60 For instance, for two addresses:
