Welcome! =8^) It does what you ask already, AFAIK. What version are you using? 0.118 is the latest (likely to be 1.0 next week, if no serious bugs show up in the mean time). On the behavior tab of preferences, there are checkboxes for whether you want it to auto-check headers at start up and when entering a group, and if you quit with tasks loaded or feed it an nzb on the command line, it'll go to work immediately. That's unless a recent bug has crept in, of course. If you are using an old pan version, 0.14.x or so, that's a branch several years old and no longer under development. However, it's still commonly shipped with distributions and thus still in wide usage, as the new C++ rewrite (starting with 0.90, releases have been roughly weekly, in an intense drive toward 1.0) has only been shipping since April, and didn't really get into a distribution shippable state until July or so. Upgrade is encouraged. Check the pan.rebelbase.com site (there's a clickable URL in the about box in old-pan, and an entry directly in the help menu on new-pan) for details and downloads, if your distribution doesn't have an up-to-date version available directly. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
