active.times

The file named active.times is found in the CHANGIWORKDIR by default, but its name and location may be modified by setting the environment variable CHANGIACTIVETIMES to a different pathname.

The file contains all newly created newsgroups in chronological order. A new line is added when Chanco sends a newgroup command to the server. This makes it possible for newsreaders to query for new newsgroups.

Each line in the active.times file consists of three fields:


newsgroup creation-time creator
newsgroup
This is the name of the newsgroup.

creation-time
Specifies the time the newsgroup was created as the number of seconds since 01/01/1970.

creator
This field is the creator's mail address.
