I call "/usr/lib/news/newsbatches" from crontab, so that
crontab needn't be changed when details of our feeds change.
Here's the newsbatches file. utmanitou is running 2.11, so
doesn't need -o, and utzoo is a 16-bit machine which can only
accept 12-bit compression.

# newsbatches - call sendbatch on each site in turn
for site in utzoo mnetor sickkids radha utmanitou
do
	case $site in utzoo) flags="-b12 -o" ;;
		      utmanitou) flags=" " ;;
			*) flags=-o ;;
	esac
	/usr/lib/news/sendbatch -c $flags $site
done
