NEWSREQUEUE(8)					   NEWSREQUEUE(8)

NAME
       newsrequeue - tool to rewrite batchfiles.

SYNOPSIS
       newsrequeue  [ -a active ] [ -h history ] [ -d days ] [ -l
       ] [ -n newsfeeds ] [ input ]

DESCRIPTION
       Newsrequeue can be used to rewrite batchfiles after a sys-
       tem  crash.  It operates in two modes.  In the first mode,
       it first reads the active (5) and  newsfeeds(5)	files  to
       determine  where	 the  different newsgroups are to be dis-
       tributed.  It then opens the history database.	Once  the
       files  are  opened,  newsrequeue	 reads from the specified
       input file, or standard input if	 no  file  is  specified.
       Each  line  should have a single Message-ID, surrounded in
       angle brackets; any other text on  the  line  is	 ignored.
       For  example,  the history file (or trailing subset of it)
       is acceptable input to the program operating in this mode.

       Newsrequeue  uses  the  first  two  fields of the newsfeed
       entry -- the sitename and the excludes field, and the pat-
       terns  and  distribs field (except for ``@'').  It ignores
       all flags in the third field except for the  ``N''  field,
       and also ignores the fourth field altogether.

       The  output  of	newsrequeue consists of one line for each
       article that should be forwarded.  Each such line contains
       the  Message-ID,	 the filename, and the list of sites that
       should receive the article.  The output	is  suitable  for
       piping into filechan(8).

       The  second  mode is used if the ``-l'' flag is given.  In
       this mode, it reads from	 the  specified	 input	file,  or
       standard	 input if no file is specified.	 Each line should
       look like an  innd  log	entry.	 It  parses  entries  for
       accepted	 articles, looks up the Message-ID in the history
       database to get the filename, and then scans the	 list  of
       sites.	If  ``storageapi''  in	inn.conf(5)  is turnd on,
       newsrequeue always runs this  mode  regardless  of  ``-l''
       flag.

OPTIONS
       -a     To specify alternate locations for the active file,
	      use the ``-a'' flag.

       -n     Use the ``-n'' flag to specify an	 alternate  loca-
	      tion for the newsfeeds(8) file.

       -h     Use the ``-h'' flag to specify a different location
	      for the history database,

       -d     If the ``-d'' flag is used, then only articles that
	      were  received  within the specified number of days
