[news.software.b] news errlog messages

james@bigtex.uucp (James Van Artsdalen) (01/07/87)

I have been getting several of these messages:

inews: rnews failed, status 11. Batch saved in /usr/spool/news/87010606411d9d
inews: rnews failed, status 11. Batch saved in /usr/spool/news/87010606441dca

These have been showing up at a rate of three or four per day (it's hard to
say as the volume of news arriving at bigtex has fluctuated wildly in the
last week or two).

This has shown up even more infrequently:

inews: Article <227@bigtex.uucp> locked up

These are mailed to me as a result of cron and placed in the errlog (minor
suggestion: if stderr is not a tty, there's not point in printing error
messages that are going into the errlog anyway).

What's "status 11" and what's "locked up"?  I'm running 2.11 news patchlevel 3.
