.TH SEND-UUCP 8
.SH NAME
send-uucp, send-nntp, send-ihave \- send Usenet articles to remote site
.SH SYNOPSIS
{
.B send-nntp
|
.B send-uucp
|
.B send-ihave
}
[
.B \-d
]
.B sitename:hostname | sitename
[
.B sitename:hostname | sitename ..
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The send-* utilities are scripts that process the batch files written
by
.IR innd (8)
to send Usenet articles to a remote NNTP or UUCP site.
.PP
The sites to be fed may be specified by giving
.I sitename
.I hostname
pairs on the command line.
.PP
The
.I sitename
is the label the site has in the
.I newsfeeds
file, the
.I hostname
is the real hostname of the remote site, a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name)
in the case of an NNTP host, or the UUCP name in the case of a UUCP host.
Normally, the
.I sitename
and the
.I hostname
are the same, and as such don't have to be specified as sitename:hostname
pairs but just as a sitename.
.PP
.I send-uucp
compresses batches of news and sends the to the remote site with
.I uux.
.PP
.I send-nntp
Starts an innxmit to send the articles to the remote site.
.PP
.I send-ihave
encapsulates the articles in an
.I ihave
control message and uses
.I inews
to send the articles to a
.I to.sitename
pseudo-group. Using
.I send-ihave
is discouraged, nobody uses it anymore and even the author of this manpage
is unsure as to how it actually works or used to work.
.PP
.I send-*
expect that the batchfile for a site is named
.IR <pathoutgoing\ in\ inn.conf>/sitename .
To prevent batchfile corruption,
.IR shlock (1)
is used to ``lock'' these files.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B "\-d"
The ``\-d'' flag causes
.I nntpsend
to send output to stdout rather than the log file
.IR <pathlog\ in\ inn.conf>/<program-name>.log .
.SH NOTES
You should probably not use send-nntp, but
.I innfeed,
or if that is not possible,
.I nntpsend.
.PP
The usual flags in the
.I newsfeed
file to write a batch file suitable for processing by
send-uucp are
.B Tf,Wfb .
.PP
The usual flags for a batch file for send-nntp are
.B Tf,Wfm
