send-uucp, send-nntp, send-ihave - send Usenet articles to
       remote site


SYNOPSIS

       { send-nntp | send-uucp  |  send-ihave  }  [  -d  ]  site­
       name:hostname | sitename [ sitename:hostname | sitename ..
       ]


DESCRIPTION

       The send-* utilities are scripts that  process  the  batch
       files  written  by  innd(8)  to  send Usenet articles to a
       remote NNTP or UUCP site.

       The sites to be fed may be specified  by  giving  sitename
       hostname pairs on the command line.

       The  sitename  is  the label the site has in the newsfeeds
       file, the hostname is the  real  hostname  of  the  remote
       site,  a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) in the case of
       an NNTP host, or the UUCP name in the case of a UUCP host.
       Normally,  the sitename and the hostname are the same, and
       as such don't have to be  specified  as  sitename:hostname
       pairs but just as a sitename.

       send-uucp  compresses batches of news and sends the to the
       remote site with uux.

       send-nntp Starts an innxmit to send the  articles  to  the
       remote site.

       send-ihave  encapsulates  the articles in an ihave control
       message and uses inews to send the articles to a  to.site­
       name pseudo-group. Using send-ihave is discouraged, nobody
       uses it anymore and even the author  of  this  manpage  is
       unsure as to how it actually works or used to work.

       send-*  expect  that  the  batchfile  for  a site is named
       <pathoutgoing in inn.conf>/sitename.  To prevent batchfile
       corruption, shlock(1) is used to ``lock'' these files.


OPTIONS

       -d     The  ``-d''  flag causes nntpsend to send output to
              stdout     rather     than     the     log     file
              <pathlog in inn.conf>/<program-name>.log.


NOTES

       You  should probably not use send-nntp, but innfeed, or if
       that is not possible, nntpsend.

       The usual flags in the newsfeed file to write a batch file
       suitable for processing by send-uucp are Tf,Wfb .

       The usual flags for a batch file for send-nntp are Tf,Wfm

       newsfeeds(5), nntpsend(8)
