- But it is not meant to ! If you wander around a bit, you will find
- `upact' (a shell script) or `updatemin' (compiled c prog) in
- /usr/lib/newsbin/expire. Kick one of these off via cron, and it will
- update the `lowest article number' field in `active'.
- updatemin is much faster.
-
- `relaynews' updates the `highest article number' field....
