Is it possible to direct incoming news from a particular news group into one's unix mailbox? If so, how, if not, never mind. Thanks, your all doing a great job!

If so, how, if not, never mind. What does this have to do with comp.unix.admin? Try news.newusers.questions, news.misc or news.admin, especially if you're looking for some sort of feature to do this that is built into the news server software. You could run rn in batch mode at night in a cron job and have it mail new articles in a particular newsgroup to you. You could probably use the recently posted rkive software (see comp.sources.misc archives) to write a shell script to do it more efficiently than rn. -- Jonathan Kamens USnail: MIT Project Athena 11 Ashford Terrace jik@Athena.MIT.EDU Allston, MA 02134 Office: 617-253-8085 Home: 617-782-0710
