NAME
sendinpaths - Send Usenet Path: statistics via e-mail
SYNOPSIS
sendinpaths [-cdhn] [-k keep-days] [-r report-days] [address [address
...]]
DESCRIPTION
sendinpaths checks pathlog/path for ninpaths dump files, finds dump
files generated in the past report-days days, makes sure they are valid
by running ninpaths on each one and making sure the exit status is
zero, and passes them to ninpaths to generate a cumulative report. By
default, that report is mailed to the e-mail addresses configured at
the beginning of this script (by default, only one address is
configured: <top1000@anthologeek.net>) in order to supply the TOP1000
project with useful statistics. See <http://top1000.anthologeek.net/>
for more information.
When finished, sendinpaths deletes all dump files in pathlog/path that
are older than keep-days days.
For more information on how to set up ninpaths, see ninpaths(8).
OPTIONS
-c When this flag is used, the report is also e-mailed, besides the
default submission addresses or those given as command-line
arguments, to the newsmaster's address set at configure time.
-d Enables debug messages.
-h Gives usage information.
-k keep-days
After having processed dump files, sendinpaths removes those that
are older than keep-days days. The default is 0, that is to say to
remove all dump files.
Setting keep-days to another value can be useful for debugging
purpose because it permits keeping a few dump files.
-n Don't e-mail the report; instead, just print it to standard output.
Don't delete old dump files.
-r report-days
Process dump files generated during the last report-days days. The
default is 32, that is to say to process all the dump files that
have been generated during the last 32 days (if, of course, they
have not been deleted yet by a previous run of sendinpaths
according to the value set by the -k flag).
address ...
E-mail the report to the mentioned address or addresses, instead of
the default one. Several addresses can be used, separated by
whitespace (sending the e-mail to your own e-mail address can be
useful for debugging purpose, to check that everything works fine).
For instance, for two addresses:
sendinpaths pathsurvey@example.org top1000@anthologeek.net
