NAME
updatenews - post articles from outgoing spool directory and prefetch newsgroups
SYNOPSIS
updatenews [ config-file ]
DESCRIPTION
Updatenews submits all those articles that have been stored within NewsCache's .outgoing-queue. Afterwards it retrieves all the articles from the newsgroups listed in the PrefetchFile (This can be configured in newscache.conf).
OPTIONS
- --active
-
Prefetch the active data base.
- --group
-
Prefetch whole newsgroups.
- --over
-
Only prefetch the overview database.
- --lock-group
-
Always lock the newsgroup while prefetching it. This improves the performance of updatenews slightly, but nobody else can read this newsgroup while prefetching.
- --workers #
-
Use # workers for prefetching. Each worker is assigned its own newsgroup to prefetch.
- --help
-
Print a small help message.
NOTES
Spool directory must not be located on an NFS mounted volume. NewsCache uses file-locking, which is not supported over NFS.
