nntpsend.ctl - List of sites to feed via nntpsend
The file
pathetc/nntpsend.ctl specifies the default list of sites to be
fed by
nntpsend. Comments begin with a number sign ("#") and
continue through the end of the line. Blank lines and comments are ignored.
All other lines should consist of four fields separated by a colon.
The first field is the name of the site as specified in the
newsfeeds
file.
The second field should be the hostname or IP address of the remote site.
The third field, if non-empty, specifies the default head truncation size of the
batch file. If this field is empty, no truncation is performed. This field may
be of the form "
maxsize-
truncsize", in which case it
is passed to
shrinkfile as "-m
maxsize -s
truncsize"; otherwise it is of the form "
truncsize", in which case it is passed as "-s
truncsize".
The fourth field specifies some default flags passed to
innxmit. Note
that the flag
-a is always given to
innxmit and need not appear
here. If no
-t flag is given in this field or on the
nntpsend
command line, "-t 180" will be given to
innxmit.
See
nntpsend(8) for an example of
nntpsend.ctl config file.
