[net.news.b] rmgrp shell file

solomon@uwvax.UUCP (06/16/83)

I installed version 2.10 over a month ago, with MANUALLY set, and I just
got my first notice to remove a group:

	seismo!harpo!eagle!alice!news has requested that newsgroup fa.info-cpm be removed.
	You should remove it by hand

When I went to the documentation to see what needed to be done, I read:

	There is a shell script rmgrp that does essentially the same
	thing as this message, but the shell script only removes the
	group  locally.

However, I can't find any such shell script in the distribution.  What gives?

You can easily make your own rmgrp shell script.  All it need
do, given an argument (presumabely the newsgroup to be canned)
is to remove the directory from spool (remember to change all
the .'s in the group into /'s) and then remove its line from
the active file.
