KITSEND(1)                                                    General Commands Manual                                                   KITSEND(1)

NAME

       kitpost - posts distribution kits

SYNOPSIS

       kitpost [ -hrV ] [ -H file ] [ -D desc ] [ -m dest1,dest2 ] [ kits ] [ newsgroups ]

DESCRIPTION

       Kitpost  posts  distribution kits made by makedist to some (source) newsgroups specified on the command line. If you do not specify any kit
       list, then all the kits are sent. Otherwise, only the specified kits will be (re)sent.

       A kit list may include ranges, 1-10 specifying kits 1 through 10, and 5- meaning kits 5 up to the last one. You may also specify  kit  num-
       bers by separating them with commas or spaces, and even mix with ranges, such as: 1 3 5-7 9.

       Kitpost ensures correct References: lines are inserted in your postings so that all parts but the first point to the root article. Threaded
       newsreaders and end-users traditionally appreciate that.

OPTIONS

       The following options are recognized by kitpost:

       -h        Print help message and exit.

       -m dest1,destn
                 Sends kits by e-mail to the specified recipients. This option may be used in conjunction with newsgroup  posting.  It  is  mainly
                 intended  for  sites  where  direct  posting to a moderated newsgroup is not allowed by inews. You may thus send your kits to the
                 newsgroup moderator in a form that will ease the whole posting process.

       -r        Signals a repost.

       -D description
                 Specify a description string that will be added to the subject line. Usually a brief sentence (less than, say, 40 characters).

       -H file   Specify a file to be used as header introduction in the first part of your posting. Usually the root README file.

       -V        Print version number and exit.

BUGS

       Article cross-referencing is properly set-up only when the whole package is (re)posted in one batch.

       It is not currently possible to set-up the article headers manually or better, interactively.
