touch_newsgroup

touch_newsgroup(1)					      General Commands Manual						touch_newsgroup(1)

NAME

       touch_newsgroup - force leafnode to continue reading low-traffic newsgroups

SYNOPSIS

       touch_newsgroup [-f groupsfile] [-h hostname] [-v] [newsgroups]

DESCRIPTION

       touch_newsgroup is a Perl script which reads the last article in the specified newsgroups on the specified using NNTP.

       This prevents leafnode or similar news-servers from marking those newsgroups as inactive because no-one is reading them.

       Perl  and  the  Net::NNTP module are required to use this program.  On Debian systems these are avalible in the perl5 and libnet-perl pack-
       ages.

OPTIONS

       -f groupsfile
	      Read newsgroup names from groupsfile in addition to any specified on command line.  Use -f - to read from stdin.

       -h hostname
	      Read newsgroups on host hostname (default 127.0.0.1)

       -v     Be verbose.  Prints the number of the article it reads from each newsgroup.

       newsgroups
	      names of newsgroups to read.  May be omitted if a groupsfile is specified.

ENVIRONMENT

       Requires Net::NNTP module (available in libnet from CPAN or the libnet-perl package).  On Debian systems, this program will by  default	be
       run daily on the list of newsgroups specified in /etc/news/leafnode/touch_groups if that file exists.

LIMITATIONS

       Only one news-server is catered for, the IP address of which is hard-wired into the script as $nntp_host.

BUGS

       dies if it encounters any problems.
