NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       send-nntp [-d] sitename[:[port@]hostname] [sitename[:[port@]hostname]
10       ...]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       send-nntp processes the batch files written by innd to send Usenet
14       articles to remote NNTP sites.  The sites to be fed are specified by
15       giving "sitename:hostname" pairs on the command line.  The sitename is
16       the label the site has in the newsfeeds file, the hostname is the real
17       hostname of the remote site, a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name).
18       Normally, the sitename and the hostname are the same, and as such don't
19       have to be specified as "sitename:hostname" pairs but just as
20       "sitename".
21
22       send-nntp starts innxmit to send the articles to remote sites.  By
23       default, NNTP port 119 is used to connect to remote sites.  In case
24       another port should be used, it has to be prepended to hostname in a
25       syntax like "sitename:port@hostname".
26
27       The batch files generated by send-nntp for a given site is named
28       sitename in the pathoutgoing directory.  To prevent batch file
29       corruption, shlock(1) is used ensure these files are not processed by
30       two running instances in parallel.
31

OPTIONS

33       -d  The -d flag causes send-nntp to send output to stdout rather than
34           the send-nntp.log log files in pathlog.
35

NOTES

37       You should probably not use send-nntp, but innfeed, or if that is not
38       possible, nntpsend.  The usual flags for a batch file for send-nntp are
39       "Tf,Wfm" in newsfeeds.
