NNPOST(1) General Commands Manual NNPOST(1) NAME nnpost - post news articles (nn) SYNOPSIS nnpost [ -dksy string ] [ -f file ] [ -p ] [ group... ] DESCRIPTION nnpost is used to post new articles using nn's normal interface, but with- out entering nn in reading mode. When started, it reads the init file and then directly executes nn's :post command. It will prompt for a (comma-separated) list of news groups, the article subject, a list of keywords, a summary, and the distribution of the arti- cle. Each of these prompts can also be supplied via command line options or arguments as described below. When prompted for the "Newsgroup:", entering a ? as the first key will cause nnpost to list all the known news groups and their purpose (if this information is available). You can also enter / followed by a word or reg- ular expression which will cause nnpost to produce a (much) shorter listing only containing the groups whose name and/or purpose description matches the regular expression. When paging through either list, you can enter q to quit the listing. If a source file is specified with -f it will be used as the initial arti- cle body. If the -p option is also specified, the article is posted di- rectly without editing. nnpost can be used to do unattended postings if sufficient arguments are provided on the command line to build the header and the body of the arti- cle. The required arguments are: one or more newsgroups, a subject (-s), a source file (-f), a distribution (-d), and the -p option. Other fields which are not specified (e.g. keywords) will not be included in the header. The contents of the news-header variable in the init file will be included in the header. OPTIONS -d distribution Use the specified distribution for the article. -k "keywords" Associate the specified keywords with the article. -s "subject" Use the specified subject for the new article. -y "summary" Include the given summary in the article header. -f file Read the article body from the specified file. -p Post the article specified with -f without editing. FILES ~/.nn/init The control variables for nnpost. SEE ALSO nn(1) AUTHOR Kim F. Storm, Texas Instruments A/S, Denmark E-mail: storm@texas.dk 4th Berkeley Distribution Release 6.6 NNPOST(1)
