Just thought i'd mention...
I realize that many threads have been posted asking questions similar to mine, but none have been posted by someone my age asking the question. I also realize that i am probably way too ahead of myself, and i should use Unix before i evan start thinking about being a unix system admin., but i still would greatly appreciate opinions on the subject.
Thanx,
Grayson

nnspew
NNSPEW(8) System Manager's Manual NNSPEW(8)
NAME
nnspew - subject database manager (nn)
SYNOPSIS
nnspew
DESCRIPTION
nnspew builds a sorted database of all available subjects in the nn article database for fast access via the nngrab utility.
nnspew should be activated regularly to rebuild the subject database, e.g. by cron. For example:
2 6,9,12,15,18,21 * * * root /bin/nice /usr/lib/nn/nnspew
Cross posted articles are only represented in the database once, and identical subjects in each group are merged into one to use a minimum
of disk space. This saves about 50% of the disk space otherwise required.
FILES
$db/subjects subject database
SEE ALSO
nn(1), nngrab(1), egrep(1)
NOTES
nngrap will use the subject database generated by nnspew independent of its age. Thus, if you stop running nnspew, remember to remove the
subjects file as well.
BUGS
nnmaster should automatically append new articles to the subject database to keep it up-to-date, and thus require less frequent rebuilding
using nnspew.
