I've got offline news up and running, but something odd is happening.
If I invoke nntpsend nothing happens. BUT, if I invoke it with arguments
in the command line it does. It does not seem to be reading
/etc/news/nntpsend.ctl.
So therefore
/usr/lib/news/bin/nntpsend
does nothing, but
/usr/lib/news/bin/nntpsend demon news.demon.co.uk
works fine.
Why? What is going on. My nntpsend.ctl file looks like this:
## $Revision: 1.2 $
## Control file for nntpsend.
## Format:
## site:fqdn:max_size:[]
## <site> The name used in the newsfeeds file for this site;
## this determines the name of the batchfile, etc.
## <fqdn> The fully-qualified domain name of the site,
## passed as the parameter to innxmit.
## <size> Size to truncate batchfile if it gets too big;
## see shrinkfile(1).
## <args> Other args to pass to innxmit
## Everything after the pound sign is ignored.
