Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.10 Administration Guide (5900-1418, March 2011)

Tf,Wnm:newsfeed_hostname
T is the flag for the type of feed and f is the value for a file feed.
W is the flag that controls what information is written. The value n causes INN to write
the article's message ID to the file represented by the newsfeed_hostname file. The
value m causes the INN Server to write the article's message ID. This file is found in the
out.going directory. (On an AlphaServer system, the file is usually
/data/spool/news/out.going/newsfeed_hostname.)
See the newsfeeds(5) reference page for a detailed explanation of feed types.
8. Click on Submit.
When you submit the data on this form, the news server:
• Stops and restarts the innd daemon
• Sets up the feed using the Defaults for all Newsfeeds settings (see Section : Modifying
Newsfeed Defaults)
• Contacts the remote newsfeed server
• Copies the active file from the remote newsfeed host to your server
It may take a few minutes before the configuration of your newsfeed is complete. Depending
on your access level and system usage, you may want to do this during off hours.
