NAME
nntpsend.ctl - list of sites to feed via nntpsend
DESCRIPTION
The file /usr/local/news/lib/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 truncsize''.
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.
