checkgroups(8) System Manager's Manual checkgroups(8) NAME checkgroups - update group descriptions SYNOPSIS checkgroups checkgroupsfile 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/leafnode/leaf.node/groupinfo). Checkgroups sets its real and effective uid to "news". OPTIONS checkgroupsfile is a file which contains the newsgroup name and the description on one line, separated by whitespace. Checkgroups scripts are sometimes sent out by news administrators (e.g., in the bionet.* hierarchy). ENVIRONMENT LN_LOCK_TIMEOUT This variable is parsed as an unsigned integer value and determines how many seconds checkgroups will wait when trying to obtain the lock file from another leafnode program. 0 means to wait indefi- nitely. This variable takes precedence over the configuration file. AUTHOR Written by Cornelius Krasel <krasel@wpxx02.toxi.uni-wuerzburg.de>. Copy- right 1997 - 1999.
