I was wondering if there was a way to process KILL files and bring the .newsrc up to date in the background. I sometimes spend an inordinate amount of time (as much as 5 minutes) waiting for rn to kill articles and skip unavailable ones. Surely there is some tool out there that does this. I've seen people ask about this from time to time - maybe this should go in a "frequently asked" posting. I'd appreciate any pointers, and I will post a summary if it seems appropriate.
