Pnews isn't designed for non-interactive use, such as a news posting from a cron job. Running it non-interactively would be a very tedious affair involving lots of environment variables and expect scripting. (I maintain trn4, which is one of the packages containing Pnews. :)) Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
