You have to run a script like this one:
#!/bin/sh
## script to send out fido batches trought ifmail
. /usr/lib/news/innshellvars
if [ ! -f $SERVERPID ]; then exit ;fi
##$NEWSBIN/ctlinnd -s -t30 flush ''
SITE=f206.n332
echo
if [ -s $BATCH/$SITE ]; then
$NEWSBIN/batcher -v -p\
"/usr/local/lib/ifmail/ifnews -x0 %s"\
$SITE $BATCH/$SITE
$NEWSBIN/ctlinnd -s -t30 flush $SITE
else
echo "$0 [$$]: no articles for $SITE"
fi
ctlinnd must be run *before* batcher if you use buffering (the B4096/1024
thing). I don't, and my newsfeeds(5) entry is:
f206.n332\
:!*,fido.*\
:Tf,Wfb:
Note that ifnews must be executable by uid (or gid) news and suid ifmail:
-rwsr-xr-- 2 ifmail news 72648 May 4 18:50 ifnews*
