NNTPSEND.CTL(5)

NAME
       nntpsend.ctl - list of sites to feed via nntpsend

DESCRIPTION
       The  file /var/lib/news/nntpsend.ctl specifies 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 tail
       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.
