NNTPSEND.CTL (5)

NAME
     nntpsend.ctl - list of sites to feed via nntpsend

DESCRIPTION
     The file <config$_PATH_NEWSLIB>/nntpsend.ctl specifies the  default  list
     of sites to be fed by nntpsend(8) .

     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(5) 
     file.

     The second field should be the hostname or IP address of the remote site.

     The third field, if non-empty, specifies the default tail truncation size
     of site's batchfile.  If this field is empty, no truncation is performed.
     If this field is of the form ``maxsize-truncsize'' then it is  passed  to
     shrinkfile  as  ``-m  maxsize  -s  truncsize'',  otherwise is of the form
     ``truncsize'' then it is passed as ``-s truncsize''.

     The fourth field specifies some default flags passed to innxmit(8) .   The
     flag  ``-a''  is always given to innxmit and need not appear hear.  If no
     ``-t timeout'' flag is given in this field and on  the  nntpsend  command
     line, ``-t\ 180'' will be given to innxmit.
