Quick question to the net.peopleintheknow: is there a way to use
the same KILL file in specified newsgroups? For example, I'd like
to use the KILL file I use for rec.music.misc also in rec.music.cd,
but no where else (I don't want to be global or make a copy of it
because it's over 600 lines long.)
Is there a line I could put in my rec.music.cd KILL file to tell it
to run my rec.music.misc KILL file?
Thanks in advance!
Marty

Link them together with the "ln" command. Doesn't matter if you use soft or hard. If you don't know what I mean by soft or hard, then just use what the manual says is available. -- Tom Reingold tr@samadams.princeton.edu

Marty Saletta <fredonia!sale5312@cs.buffalo.edu> asked if there is a
way to use the same KILL file for more than one newsgroup.
Tom Reingold <tr@samadams.princeton.edu> suggested linking them
together using "ln".
Tom, please don't post answers without testing them out first. Your
suggestion will cause the "THRU" line added to the KILL files by rn to
be corrupted, causing incorrect KILL file processing.
Marty, I don't know of any general solution to your request. You could
define a macro to be used for adding to the relevant KILL files, which
adds the same line to each one. But that would mean you couldn't use
nice features like /pattern/K:=:j in those newsgroups.
