.SH NAME
checkgroups \- update group descriptions
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B checkgroups [checkgroups script]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Leafnode
is a USENET package intended for small sites, where there are few
users and little disk space, but where a large number of groups is
desired.
.PP
The design of
.B leafnode
is intended to self-repair after problems, and to require no
manual maintenance.
.PP
.B Checkgroup
is the program which parses checkgroup scripts to include new/updated
group descriptions into the active file.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.I checkgroups script
is a file which contains the newsgroup name and the description on one
line, separated by a whitespace.
.SH "FILES AND CONFIGURATION"
See
.BR leafnode (8)
for the list of files affected, and for information on configuring
.B fetch.
.SH NOTES
.B Checkgroups
sets its real and effective uid to "news", because almost all of the
problems I have had with
.B leafnode
are due to files which aren't writable for user news.
.SH "AUTHOR AND LICENCE"
Written by Cornelius Krasel <krasel@wpxx02.toxi.uni-wuerzburg.de>.
