Subject: (4.18) Other cron jobs.
Once a night you should run the "news.daily" script which will expire old articles, run the daily reports, etc. It should run as "news" and look something like this: 40 23 * * * /usr/lib/news/bin/news.daily delayrm You should also have a line like this: 20 * * * * /bin/rnews -U This processes any batches or posts that came in while innd was down. (i.e. when users post and get a message like, "Server down, spooling locally" this command picks up those files and posts them). It can't hurt to run this more often, but once an hour should be fine. ------------------------------ [Source: INN FAQ Part 4 Archive-name: usenet/software/inn-faq/part4] [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/08/26 01:26:21 $ $Revision: 2.19 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.]
