PROGRAM:

NAME


touch_newsgroup - force leafnode to continue reading low-traffic newsgroups

SYNOPSIS


touch_newsgroup [-f groupsfile] [-h hostname] [-v] [newsgroups]

DESCRIPTION


touch_newsgroup is a Perl script which reads the last article in the specified newsgroups
on the specified using NNTP.

This prevents leafnode or similar news-servers from marking those newsgroups as inactive
because no-one is reading them.

Perl and the Net::NNTP module are required to use this program. On Debian systems these
are avalible in the perl5 and libnet-perl packages.

OPTIONS


-f groupsfile
Read newsgroup names from groupsfile in addition to any specified on command line.
Use -f - to read from stdin.

-h hostname
Read newsgroups on host hostname (default 127.0.0.1)

-v Be verbose. Prints the number of the article it reads from each newsgroup.

newsgroups
names of newsgroups to read. May be omitted if a groupsfile is specified.

ENVIRONMENT


Requires Net::NNTP module (available in libnet from CPAN or the libnet-perl package). On
Debian systems, this program will by default be run daily on the list of newsgroups
specified in /etc/news/leafnode/touch_groups if that file exists.

LIMITATIONS


Only one news-server is catered for, the IP address of which is hard-wired into the script
as $nntp_host.
