updatenews8
Post articles from outgoing spool directory and prefetch newsgroups
Usage
updatenews [config-file]
Overview
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.
