Description: When should slrnpull be run?
Slrnpull needs to run periodically to download news. This can be accomplished

A cron job that is run daily can be used. This works well if you have a
permanent network connection, or if you are using diald or a similar
program that connects to the network on demand.
.
The /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/slrnpull script will make slrnpull download news when
you connect to the network via ppp.
.
Or you can choose to handle this manually.
