SYNOPSIS

       send-nntp  [  -d  ]  sitename:hostname | sitename [ sitename:hostname |
       sitename ..  ]

       send-ihave [ -d ] sitename: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 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 host-
       name is the real hostname of the remote site, a FQDN  (Fully  Qualified
       Domain  Name).   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-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.sitename  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 <pathoutgo-
       ing 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 for a batch file for send-nntp are ``Tf,Wfm''.
