innwatch - monitor innd.
SYNOPSIS
innwatch [ -l logfile ] [ -t seconds ]
DESCRIPTION
Innwatch is normally started by rc.news. It periodically
-- every <innwatchsleeptime in inn.conf> seconds -- exam
ines the load average, and the number of free blocks and
inodes on the spool partition, as described by its control
file, innwatch.ctl(5).
If the load gets too high, or the disk gets too full, it
throttles the server. When the condition restores, it
unblocks the server. In addition, on each pass through
the loop it will check the logfile <pathlog in
inn.conf>/news.crit to see if it has been modified, and
send mail to the news administrator if so.
Upon receipt of an interrupt signal (SIGINT), innwatch
will report its status in the file
<pathrun in inn.conf>/innwatch.status.
OPTIONS
-l To specify a log file to watch, other than the
default of news.crit, use the ``-l'' flag.
-t To change the period between check from the
default, use the ``-t'' flag.
