I don't use the getnews script provided by the package, I wrote my
own. You have to give suck the -bi option to build a batchfile for
feeding it with innxmit to inn. Here is the relevant part of my
script:
...
suck ${REMOTE_NEWS} -bi ${SUCK_IN} ${SUCK_OPTIONS}
SUCK_STATUS=$?
case ${SUCK_STATUS} in
0) # Some articles were available
mv /etc/suck/sucknewsrc /etc/suck/sucknewsrc.old
mv /var/lib/suck/suck.newrc /etc/suck/sucknewsrc
rm -f /var/lib/suck/suck.sorted suckothermsg
# That is important for feeding news into inn
innxmit ${LOCAL_NEWS} ${SUCK_IN} && rm /var/lib/suck/msg/*
sleep 200
;;
1) # No error, but no new article
sleep 200
;;
*) # Some error occurred, retry after some short sleep
echo "Suck failed for some reason, retrying after short sleep"
sleep 20
;;
esac
...
I hope the variable names are understandable. SUCK_OPTIONS just
contains -k to disable the use of a killfile (make suck much quicker).
If someone is interessted in this script send me an email.
