Warning: This is a long question!
How to handle many feeders with inn and newsx? My problem is that my
first news feeder is down now and then, but mostly works all right. So I
have second news feeder for situations, when first feeder is down to get
news. But I have only read right to second feeder, I can't post
articles. When my modem connection comes up, my script automatically
runs something like this
/usr/local/bin/newsx first news.first.fi
/usr/local/bin/newsx --no-post second news.second.fi
When I shut down Linux my script post my written news
/usr/local/bin/newsx -- no-fetch first news.first.fi
in my newsfeeds is
first/news.first.fi\
:*,!junk,!local!,!control*,!to*,!test*\
:Tf,Wnm:first
second/news.second.fi\
:*,!junk,!local!,!control*,!to*,!test*\
:Tf,Wnm:second
Problem comes when first newsfeeds has been down and second newsfeed has
been up and when first newsfeed comes up: INN puts a lot of articles
read from second newsfeed to out.going/first and newsx tries to feed
first newsfeeds.
It can take a lot of time, because I have a slow modem connection.
Is solutions to use many newsfeeds files and change INN configuration
depending what newsfeed is up?
When modem connection comes up, should I run something like this
/etc/rc.d/init.d/innd stop
cp /etc/news/newsfeed.first /etc/news/newsfeed
/etc/rc.d/init.d/innd start
/usr/local/bin/newsx first news.first.fi
RET=$?
if [RET$ = ] ; then
:
else
/etc/rc.d/init.d/innd stop
cp /etc/news/newsfeed.second /etc/news/newsfeed
/etc/rc.d/init.d/innd start
/usr/local/bin/newsx --no-post second news.second.fi
fi
and in newdfeed.first will be only lines
first/news.first.fi\
:*,!junk,!local!,!control*,!to*,!test*\
:Tf,Wnm:first
and analogically newdfeed.first.
Any suggestions, give me tips!
I use RH5.0 and newsx 1.3.
