NAME

       send-uucp - Send Usenet articles via UUCP

SYNOPSIS

       send-uucp [SITE ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The send-uucp program processes batch files written by innd(8) to send Usenet articles to UUCP sites.  It reads a configuration file to
       control how it behaves with various sites.  Normally, it's run periodically out of cron to put together batches and send them to remote
       UUCP sites.

OPTIONS

       Any arguments provided to the program are interpreted as a list of sites specfied in send-uucp.cf for which batches should be generated.
       If no arguments are supplied then batches will be generated for all sites listed in that configuration file.

CONFIGURATION

       The sites to which articles are to be sent must be configured in the configuration file send-uucp.cf.  Each site is specified with a line
       of the form:

	   site[:host] [compressor [maxsize [batchtime]]]

       site
	   The news site name being configured.  This must match a site name from newsfeeds(5).

       host
	   The UUCP host name to which batches should be sent for this site.  If omitted, the news site name will be used as the UUCP host name.

       compressor
	   The compression method to use for batches.  This should be one of compress, gzip or none.  Arguments for the compression command may be
	   specified by using "_" instead of spaces. For example, "gzip_-9".  The default value is "compress".

       maxsize
	   The maximum size of a single batch before compression.  The default value is 500,000 bytes.

       batchtime
	   A comma separated list of hours during which batches should be generated for a given site.  When send-uucp runs, a site will only be
	   processed if the current hour matches one of the hours in batchtime.  The default is no limitation on when to generate batches.

       Fields are seperated by spaces and only the site name needs to be specified, with defaults being used for unspecified values.  If the first
       character on a line is a "#" then the rest of the line is ignored.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example send-uucp.cf configuration file:

	   zoetermeer	   gzip 	   1048576	   5,18,22
	   hoofddorp	   gzip 	   1048576	   5,18,22
	   pa3ebv	   gzip 	   1048576	   5,18,22
	   drinkel	   gzip 	   1048576	   5,6,18,20,22,0,2
	   manhole	   compress	   1048576	   5,18,22
	   owl		   compress	   1048576
	   able

       This defines seven UUCP sites.  The first four use gzip compression and the last three use compress.  The first six use a batch size of
       1MB, and the last site (able) uses the default of 500,000 bytes.  The zoetermeer, hoofddorp, pa3ebv, and manhole sites will only have
       batches generated for them during the hours of 05:00, 18:00, and 22:00, and the drinkel site will only have batches generated during those
       hours and 20:00, 00:00, and 02:00.  There are no restrictions on when batches will be generated for owl or able.

FILES

       pathetc/send-uucp.cf
	   Configuration file specifying a list of sites to be processed.

NOTES

       The usual flags used for a UUCP feed in the newsfeeds file are "Tf,Wfb".
