SYNOPSIS
checkgroups [GLOBAL OPTIONS] [checkgroups script [...]]
DESCRIPTION
Leafnode is a USENET package intended for small sites, where there are few users and little disk space, but where a large number of groups is desired.
Checkgroups is the program which parses checkgroup scripts to include new/updated group descriptions into the active file (which is usually /var/spool/news/leaf.node/groupinfo).
Checkgroups sets its real and effective uid to "news".
OPTIONS
For a description of the GLOBAL OPTIONS, see leafnode(8).
| checkgroups script | |
| is a file which contains the newsgroup name and the description on one line, separated by a whitespace. Checkgroups scripts are sent out regularly for some hierarchies by their news administrators. | |
