NAME

       innwatch - monitor innd.

SYNOPSIS

       innwatch [ -l logfile ] [ -t seconds ]

DESCRIPTION

       Innwatch  is  normally  started	by /etc/news/boot.  It periodically -- every (600) seconds -- examines the load average, and the number of
       free blocks and inodes on the spool partition, as described by its control file, innwatch.ctl(5).

       If the load gets too high, or the disk gets too full, it throttles the server.  When the condition restores, it unblocks  the  server.	In
       addition,  on each pass through the loop it will check the logfile /var/log/news/news.crit to see if it has been modified, and send mail to
       the news administrator if so.

       Upon receipt of an interrupt signal (SIGINT), innwatch will report its status in the file /var/run/innd/innwatch.status.

OPTIONS

       -l     To specify a log file to watch, other than the default of news.crit, use the ``-l'' flag.

       -t     To change the period between check from the default, use the ``-t'' flag.

NAME

       innwatch - monitor innd.

SYNOPSIS

       innwatch [ -l logfile ] [ -t seconds ]

DESCRIPTION

       Innwatch  is  normally  started by rc.news.  It periodically -- every <innwatchsleeptime in inn.conf> seconds -- examines the load average,
       and the number of free blocks and inodes on the spool partition, as described by its control file, innwatch.ctl.

       If the load gets too high, or the disk gets too full, it throttles the server.  When the condition restores, it unblocks  the  server.	In
       addition,  on each pass through the loop it will check the logfile <pathlog in inn.conf>/news.crit to see if it has been modified, and send
       mail to the news administrator if so.

       Upon receipt of an interrupt signal (SIGINT), innwatch will report its status in the file <pathrun in inn.conf>/innwatch.status.

OPTIONS

       -l logfile
	      To specify a log file to watch, other than the default of news.crit, use the ``-l'' flag.

       -t seconds
	      To change the period between checks from the default from inn.conf , use the ``-t'' flag.
