I am experiancing difficulties with the sendbatch script as supplied in the news 2.11B release under SCO Xenix 386 2.3.1. Any assistance or suggestions would be welcome. When run by cron, with an entry as follows: 00 6 * * * su news -c "/usr/lib/news/sendbatch -c xyzsys" > /dev/null NOTHING happens! However, if as "su" I invoke the following: ./sendbatch -c xyzsys it works as it should. Typical sys file entry looks like so: xyzsys:world............:F: The configuration section of sendbatch looks like this: : '@(#)sendbatch.sh 1.20 1/15/89' LIB=/usr/lib/news BATCH=/usr/spool/batch LIM=50000 IHAVE=ihave MAXBATCH=1000000000 RNEWS=rnews UUX_FLAGS="-r -z" CMD='$LIB/batch $BATCH/$rmt $BLIM' ECHO= COMP= C7= cflags= DU_BLOCK_SIZE=512 REM_SPACE=1000000000 DOIHAVE= SPOOLDISK=/dev/root MINDF=5000 Thanks!
