INN FAQ Part 2

NOTE: The maintainers of the INN FAQ stopped publishing in December 1997.
An important update to this topic is provided by Mib Software in the Usenet RKT for Subscribers.

Subject: (2.10) Alpha OSF tips:


To compile INN for the DEC Alpha, follow the instructions in the INN
patch archive on ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/inn/unoff-patches

A config.data file for OSF1.3a is in:
ftp://infinite.cs.swt.edu/pub/usenet/inn/
A config.data file for OSF3.0 is in:
ftp://infinite.cs.swt.edu/pub/usenet/inn/

In rc.news you need to start $INNWATCH using the following:

${DOINNWATCH} && {
    echo "${INNWATCH} &" | su ${NEWSUSER} -c 'at now + 2 min' > /dev/null
}

The '&' in the command line prevents innwatch from taking up an at-job
slot. SysV-style crons have a per-category and overall limit on the
number of jobs executing simultaneously.
