NAME
       checkgroups - update group descriptions

SYNOPSIS
       checkgroups checkgroupsfile

DESCRIPTION
       Leafnode	 is a USENET package intended for small sites, where there are
       few users and little disk space, but where a large number of groups  is
       desired.

       Checkgroups  is	the program which parses checkgroup scripts to include
       new/updated group descriptions into the active file (which  is  usually
       /var/spool/leafnode/leaf.node/groupinfo).

       Checkgroups sets its real and effective uid to "news".

OPTIONS
       checkgroupsfile
	      is  a file which contains the newsgroup name and the description
	      on one line, separated by whitespace.  Checkgroups  scripts  are
	      sometimes	 sent out by news administrators (e.g. in the bionet.*
	      hierarchy).

ENVIRONMENT
       LN_LOCK_TIMEOUT
	      This variable is parsed as an unsigned integer value and	deter‐
	      mines  how  many	seconds	 checkgroups  will wait when trying to
	      obtain the lock file from another leafnode program. 0  means  to
	      wait  indefinitely. This variable takes precedence over the con‐
	      figuration file.
