nntpsend.ctl - list of sites to feed via nntpsend
DESCRIPTION
The file <--prefix=PREFIX at configure>/nntpsend.ctl spec
ifies the default list of sites to be fed by nntpsend(8).
Comments begin with a number sign (``#'') and continue
through the end of the line. Blank lines and comments are
ignored. All other lines should consist of four fields
separated by a colon.
The first field is the name of the site as specified in
the newsfeeds(5) file.
The second field should be the hostname or IP address of
the remote site.
The third field, if non-empty, specifies the default head
truncation size of site's batchfile. If this field is
empty, no truncation is performed. If this field is of
the form ``maxsize-truncsize'' then it is passed to
shrinkfile as ``-m maxsize -s truncsize'', otherwise is of
the form ``truncsize'' then it is passed as ``-s trunc
size''.
The fourth field specifies some default flags passed to
innxmit(8). The flag ``-a'' is always given to innxmit
and need not appear hear. If no ``-t timeout'' flag is
given in this field and on the nntpsend command line,
``-t 180'' will be given to innxmit.
