gnus doesn't seem to work for me. I tried giving it a couple different servers in the GNUs config file, including textnews.news.cambrium.nl and news.gnus.org. The first one I've used before, through Lynx with the nntp:// scheme (not the news: scheme). When I try starting gnus, it gives the following error message:
The code I put in my startup file was:
I seriously doubt that that's the problem though, because gnus seems to be reading the server name just fine; it's just not able to find the server. Can anyone help me with this?

The URL was nntp:news.gnus.org. I think it's supposed to be nntp://news.gnus.org. Is this the problem? If so, how can I make gnus add the slashes in the script?
I'm trying to check if files already exist in a directory. They have the same basename (exsyctr1), but 4 different extensions. If the files exist, then I make backups of them, then copy them from another directory ($livecomp/data) to the current one ($copycomp/data). If they don't exist, just... (5 Replies)

My understanding of the gnus-demon is that it should run its handlers each gnus-demon timestep. I have my gnus demon timestep set to the default 60 seconds.

hosts.nntp
HOSTS.NNTP(5) File Formats Manual HOSTS.NNTP(5)NAME
hosts.nntp, hosts.nntp.nolimit - list of hosts that feed NNTP news
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/news/hosts.nntp is read by innd(8) to get the list of hosts that feed the local site Usenet news using the NNTP protocol.
The server reads this file at start-up or when directed to by ctlinnd(8). When a host connects to the NNTP port of the system on which
innd is running, the server will do a check to see if their Internet address is the same as one of the hosts named in this file. If the
host is not mentioned, then innd will spawn an nnrpd(8) to process the connection, with the accepted connection on standard input and stan-
dard output.
Comments begin with a number sign (``#'') and continue through the end of the line. Blank lines and comments also ignored. All other
lines should consist of two or three fields separated by a colon.
The first field should be either an Internet address in dotted-quad format or an address that can be parsed by gethostbyname(3). If a
host's entry has multiple addresses, all of them will be added to the access list. The second field, which may be blank, is the password
the foreign host is required to use when first connecting. The third field, which may be omitted, is a list of newsgroups to which the
host may send articles. This list is parsed as a newsfeeds(5) subscription list; groups not in the list are ignored. Posts crossposted in
groups matched by a @group.* entry are dropped.
For example:
## FOO has a password, UUNET and VIX dont.
## UUNET cannot post to local groups.
## Example is not part of Usenet II.
## These are comment lines.
news.foo.com:magic
uunet.uu.net::!foo.*
data.ramona.vix.com:
newspeer.example.com::*,@net.*
The first field may be suffixed by ``/s'' to indicate that streaming commands are specifically permitted to be used by this host. By
default streaming commands are available to all hosts. If any entry in hosts.nntp has a ``/s'' suffix, then only those hosts with the
``/s'' suffix will be permitted to use streaming commands.
For example, with the following hosts.nntp file, only the host data.ramona.vix.com is allowed to use the streaming commands.
## As above, but
news.foo.com:magic
uunet.uu.net::!foo.*
data.ramona.vix.com/s:
The first field may be suffixed by ``/a'' to indicate that the IP address of the feeding hosts allowed by this entry should always be
included in the Path line of articles, or by ``/t'' to indicate that the address should not be included, or ``/a'' followed by a pathhost
value to indicate that the IP address should be included if the most recent Path entry does not match the pathhost specified after ``/a''.
The default is to log the address in articles whose most recent Path entry is not the same as the hostname in the hosts.nntp entry.
Since innd is usually started at system boot time, the local nameserver may not be fully operational when innd parses this file. As a
work-around, a ctlinnd ``reload'' command can be performed after a delay of an hour or so. It is also possible to provide both a host's
name and its dotted-quad address in the file.
If the file contains passwords, it should not be world-readable. The file /etc/news/hosts.nntp.nolimit, if it exists is read whenever the
``hosts.nntp'' file is read. It has the same format, although only the first field is used. Any host mentioned in this file is not sub-
ject to the incoming connections limit specified by innd's ``-i'' flag. This can be used to allow local hosts or time-sensitive peers, to
connect regardless of the local conditions.
