SYNOPSIS
PostNews <newsfile -f user -r "realname" -R reffile -x delfile
DESCRIPTION
Postnews posts news by UUXing an RNews file constructed according
to specifications.
The newsfile is normally generated by the user and contains the
NewsGroups:, Subject:, and Distribution: lines.
If -f is not specified, the user name is extracted from the
enviroment first (ENV:USERNAME), UserName config entry second.
If -r is not specified, the user's real name is extracted from the
enviroment first (ENV:REALNAME), RealName config entry second.
If -R is specified the file contains one or header lines (no blank
lines) to be included in the news. This file is normally generated
by the news reading program (for example, to generate the References:
line) and is not usually editable by the user.
Any files specified with the -x option are deleted after the news
is queued. Up to 32 files may be specified. This allows you to
RUN postnews in the background and have it clean up after you when
it is done.
