Cnews: 7-Sep-90 nntp: 1.5.10 The subject says it. As I have increased my newsfeed from just a few groups to a full USENET feed via nntp, I have been seeing increasing numbers of partialy processed nntp.aXXXXX files is /usr/spool/news/in.coming. From just one days nntpxfers from my feed, I have over 15 of these files sitting around. A scan of nntplog shows lots of "EOF before period on line by itself" messages and timeout messages for the relavent process ids. Looking at the history and log files, it is not clear to me if these articles ever showed up properly in the various groups. I used to manually mv them to something resembling a CNews batch file for processing by the newsrun script but the number has grown too large for that. Is there a script or program available I could place in cron to clean these up at the end of the day? Should I even worry about them and just rm them? I've been unable to find anything helpful in the docs or source code.
