- The acttimes program will maintain a log file of new groups for you
- if your news software does not automatically maintain active.times.
-
- Set the DESTDIR in the Makefile and type make.
-
- To use it, either execute "acttimes -d" to start a daemon process
- that wakes up every 10 minutes (by default) to check if the active file
- is a different size, or put "acttimes" into your cron file to be run
- periodically.
-
- If you're having the nntp server log copious info, you will
- probably want to run the stat package developed by Erik Fair.
- Once a week you should have crontab do
-
- awk -f nntp_awk nntplog.old >& nntp_report
-
- where "nntplog.old" is the last week's nntp log file produced
- by syslog. Any errors which it cannot resolve are placed
- in the front of the report.
