NAME

6       sendinpaths - Send Usenet Path header field statistics via e-mail
7

SYNOPSIS

9       sendinpaths [-cdhn] [-k keep-days] [-r report-days] [address [address
10       ...]]
11

DESCRIPTION

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).

OPTIONS

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:
