cnfsstat - Show usage of CNFS buffers SYNOPSIS
cnfsstat [-ahpPsv] [-c class] [-l [seconds]] [-m buffer] DESCRIPTION
cnfsstat reads pathetc/cycbuff.conf and pathetc/storage.conf to determine which CNFS buffers are available. It then reads the specified cyclic buffers and shows their usage status. cnfsstat can be invoked from rc.news if docnfsstat is set to true in inn.conf, and the result is written to syslog(3). OPTIONS
-a Besides its usual output, cnfsstat prints the age of the oldest article in the cycbuff. You may also want to use the -v flag to see extended consistency checks. -c class Only information for the specified class is printed. -h Print usage information and exit. -l [seconds] With this option, cnfsstat prints a status snapshot every seconds, and only exits if an error occurs. When unspecified, the default interval is 600 seconds. -m buffer Print information about the specified buffer in a format suitable for MRTG. -p Print an MRTG config file. -P Write PID into pathrun/cnfsstat.pid. -s Write output to syslog(3) instead of standard output. -v Write additional information, especially about consistency checks for article storage and the history file.

RC.NEWS(8) InterNetNews Documentation RC.NEWS(8) NAME
rc.news - Start or stop INN daemons SYNOPSIS
rc.news [start | stop] DESCRIPTION
rc.news can be used to start or stop innd and supporting programs. It checks to make sure INN is not already running, handles cases of unclean shutdown, finishes up tasks which might have been interrupted by the preceding shutdown, e-mails certain boot-time warnings to newsmaster (as set in inn.conf), and is generally safer and easier than starting and stopping everything directly. It needs to be run as the news user so that files in pathrun are created with the right ownership (though this is less important for "rc.news stop"). Programs run and stopped by this script include: o Always: innd is started or stopped. o If doinnwatch is true in inn.conf: innwatch is started and stopped. o If docnfsstat is true in inn.conf: cnfsstat is started and stopped. o If ovmethod is set to "ovdb" in inn.conf: ovdb_init is run; ovdb_server and ovdb_monitor are stopped. o If rc.news.local exists in pathbin: rc.news.local is run with argument "start" or "stop" (to perform site-specific startup or shutdown tasks). OPTIONS
"start" If the first argument is "start", or no first argument is given, rc.news initiates INN startup. "stop" If the first argument is "stop", rc.news initiates INN shutdown. It is recommended to throttle the server first as described in ctlinnd(8). EXAMPLES
To start INN and leave certain error messages going to the terminal: su - news -c <pathbin in inn.conf>/rc.news To run INN at startup time from appropriate system boot scripts: su - news -c <pathbin>/rc.news >/dev/console To stop INN (throttling first): <pathbin>/ctlinnd throttle reason su - news -c '<pathbin>/rc.news stop' BUGS
Running "rc.news start" as root is never the right thing to do, so we should at minimum check for this and error, or perhaps change effective user ID. HISTORY
