The <B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
>inn</B
|
|
> source package provides a script suitable for
|
|
starting <B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
>inn</B
|
|
> at boot time. The script is usually called
|
|
<TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>/usr/lib/news/bin/rc.news</TT
|
|
>. The script reads arguments
|
|
from another script, usually called
|
|
<TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>/usr/lib/news/innshellvars</TT
|
|
>, which contains definitions
|
|
of the filenames and filepaths that <B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
>inn</B
|
|
> will use to locate
|
|
components it needs. It is generally considered a good idea to execute
|
|
<B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
>inn</B
|
|
> with the permissions of a non-root user, such as
|
|
<TT
|
|
CLASS="LITERAL"
|
|
>news</TT
|
|
>.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>To ensure that <B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
>inn</B
|
|
> is started at boot time, you should
|
|
check that <TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>/usr/lib/news/innshellvars</TT
|
|
> is configured
|
|
correctly and then call the <TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>/usr/lib/news/bin/rc.news</TT
|
|
>
|
|
script from a script executed at boot time.</P
|

|
|
>Additionally, there are administrative tasks that must be performed
|
|
periodically. These tasks are usually configured to be executed by the
|
|
<B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
>cron</B
|
|
> command. The best way to do this is to add the
|
|
appropriate commands to your <TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>/etc/crontab</TT
|
|
> file, or
|
|
even better, create a file suitable for the <TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>/etc/cron.d</TT
|
|
>
|
|
directory, if your distribution provides one. An example of such a file might

look like:
