The handling of missing outgoing batch files in newsx is quite simple:
Complain and die.
In addition, the newsx documentation is pretty thin in this area. It might
be viewed as a newsserver problem, but since this will effect anyone
setting up newsx for the first time, I really think something should be
done about it.
Some ideas are:
1. Newsx could detect the error, issue a message, but still go on
fetching incoming news.
2. Newsx could automatically create an empty outgoing file. (Which
is a bit touchy since this file really belongs to INN. And INN
would need a "ctlinnd reload newsfeeds" to pick it up, wouldn't
it?)
3. There could be a simple script that checks and sets up a new newsfeeds
entry and an outgoing spool entry for you.
A combination of 1 and 3 might perhaps not be so bad?
Any ideas and comments?
