NNPOST(1)                USER COMMANDS                  NNPOST(1)



NAME
     nnpost - post news articles (_n_n)

SYNOPSIS
     nnpost [ -dksy _s_t_r_i_n_g ] [ -f _f_i_l_e ] [ -p ] [ _g_r_o_u_p... ]

DESCRIPTION
     nnpost is used to post new articles using _n_n's normal inter-
     face, but without entering _n_n in reading mode.

     When started, it reads the _i_n_i_t file and then directly  exe-
     cutes _n_n's :post command.

     It will prompt for a (comma-separated) list of news  groups,
     the  article subject, a list of keywords, a summary, and the
     distribution of the article.  Each of these prompts can also
     be  supplied  via  command  line  options  or  arguments  as
     described below.

     When prompted for the "Newsgroup:",  entering  a  ?  as  the
     first  key  will  cause  _n_n_p_o_s_t  to  list all the known news
     groups and their purpose (if this information is available).
     You  can  also enter / followed by a word or regular expres-
     sion which will cause _n_n_p_o_s_t to  produce  a  (much)  shorter
     listing only containing the groups whose name and/or purpose
     description matches the  regular  expression.   When  paging
     through either list, you can enter q to quit the listing.

     If a source file is specified with -f it will be used as the
     initial  article  body.  If the -p option is also specified,
     the article is posted directly without editing.

     _n_n_p_o_s_t can be used to do unattended postings  if  sufficient
     arguments  are  provided  on  the  command line to build the
     header and the body of the article.  The required  arguments
     are:  one  or more newsgroups, a subject (-s), a source file
     (-f), a distribution (-d), and the -p option.  Other  fields
     which are not specified (e.g. keywords) will not be included
     in the header.  The contents of the _n_e_w_s-_h_e_a_d_e_r variable  in
     the init file will be included in the header.

OPTIONS
     -d _d_i_s_t_r_i_b_u_t_i_o_n
          Use the specified _d_i_s_t_r_i_b_u_t_i_o_n for the article.

     -k "_k_e_y_w_o_r_d_s"
          Associate the specified _k_e_y_w_o_r_d_s with the article.


     -s "_s_u_b_j_e_c_t"
          Use the specified _s_u_b_j_e_c_t for the new article.

     -y "_s_u_m_m_a_r_y"
