LPOST(1)
NAME
lpost - post articles to local server using rnews.
SYNOPSIS
lpost [ -v ]
OPTIONS
-v verbose, show each article as it is uploaded.
NOTE
- Use the batch function of suck and avoid lpost, this is not the most
efficient way of doing things. It is kept solely as a link to the
past, since some people still use it. It is not compiled nor installed
by default. To build and install lpost, from the source directory,
run:
- ./configure
make install_lpost
DESCRIPTION
- lpost (local post) reads stdin and pipes the articles to rnews, typically found in /usr/lib/news. If it is located elsewhere, change #define RNEWS in suck_config.h. A typical way to use lpost is:
- zcat output.gz | lpost
- This could take a while, so be patient.
EXIT VALUES
0 on success, -1 on failure.
