NAME

       sendinpaths - Send Usenet Path: statistics via e-mail

SYNOPSIS

       sendinpaths [-n]

DESCRIPTION

       sendinpaths checks pathlog/path for ninpaths dump files, finds dump files generated in the past 30 days, makes sure they are valid by
       running ninpaths on each one and making sure the exit status is zero, and passes them to ninpaths to generate a cumulative report.  That
       report is mailed to the e-mail addresses configured at the beginning of this script (by default <pathsurvey@top1000.org> and
       <top1000@anthologeek.net>) in order to supply the TOP1000 project with useful statistics:  see <http://www.top1000.org/> for more
       information.

       When finished, sendinpaths deletes all dump files in pathlog/path that are older than 14 days (configurable at the beginning of the
       script).

       For more information on how to set up ninpaths, see ninpaths(8).

OPTIONS

       -n  Don't e-mail the report; instead, just print it to standard output.	Don't delete old dump files.

NAME

       scanlogs - Summarize and rotate INN log files

SYNOPSIS

       scanlogs [norotate]

DESCRIPTION

       scanlogs summarizes the information recorded in the INN log files which reside in the pathlog directory set in inn.conf (see newslog(5) for
       further details about these log files).	It is normally invoked by the news.daily(8) script which performs daily server maintenance tasks.

       It invokes "ctlinnd flushlogs" to close the news and error log files, rename them to add ".old" to the file names and open fresh news and
       error logs; the active file is also flushed to disk, along with the history database.

       By default, scanlogs rotates and cleans out the logs.  It keeps up to logcycles old compressed log files in pathlog/OLD (the logcycles
       parameter can be set in inn.conf).   scanlogs also keeps archives of the active file in this directory.

       It invokes tally.control if newgroup.log or rmgroup.log exists in pathlog (see the control.log entry of newslog(5) for more information
       about that).

       scanlogs displays the contents of errlog and news.crit, if non-empty, and runs innreport to summarize the contents of news and news.notice,
       and to update the unwanted.log file amongst other things (see more information about that in innreport(8)).

OPTIONS

       Only one option is currently accepted:

       norotate
	   Using this option disables the rotating and cleaning aspect of the log processing:  the logs files are only scanned for information and
	   no contents are altered.  If scanlogs is invoked more than once a day, the norotate option should be used to prevent premature log
	   cleaning.

FILES

       See newslog(5) for the list of log files processed by scanlogs.
