So that you can see what a control.ctl (Best web design)
So that you can see what a control.ctl file would look like in practice, here is a very short illustrative sample: ## Sample /etc/news/control.ctl ## ## Warning: You should not use this file, it is illustrative only. ## Control Message Handling all:*:*:mail checkgroups:*:*:mail ihave:*:*:drop sendme:*:*:drop sendsys:*:*:log=sendsys senduuname:*:*:log=senduuname version:*:*:log=version newgroup:*:*:mail rmgroup:*:*:mail ## Handle control messages for the eight most important news heirarchies ## COMP, HUMANITIES, MISC, NEWS, REC, SCI, SOC, TALK check- groups:*:comp.*|humanities.*|misc.*|news.*|rec.*|sci.*|soc.*|talk.*:drop newgroup:*:comp.*|humanities.*|misc.*|news.*|rec.*|sci.*|soc.*|talk.*:drop rmgroup:*:comp.*|humanities.*|misc.*|news.*|rec.*|sci.*|soc.*|talk.*:drop checkgroups:group-admin@isc.org:*:verify-news.announce.newgroups newgroup:group-admin@isc.org:comp.*|misc.*|news.*:verify- news.announce.newgroups newgroup:group-admin@isc.org:rec.*|sci.*|soc.*:verify- news.announce.newgroups newgroup:group-admin@isc.org:talk.*|humanities.*:verify- news.announce.newgroups rmgroup:group-admin@isc.org:comp.*|misc.*|news.*:verify- news.announce.newgroups rmgroup:group-admin@isc.org:rec.*|sci.*|soc.*:verify- news.announce.newgroups rmgroup:group-admin@isc.org:talk.*|humanities.*:verify- news.announce.newgroups ## GNU ( Free Software Foundation ) newgroup:gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu:gnu.*:doit newgroup:news@*ai.mit.edu:gnu.*:doit rmgroup:gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu:gnu.*:doit rmgroup:news@*ai.mit.edu:gnu.*:doit ## LINUX (Newsfeed from news.lameter.com) checkgroups:christoph@lameter.com:linux.*:doit newgroup:christoph@lameter.com:linux.*:doit rmgroup:christoph@lameter.com:linux.*:doit Running INN The inn source package provides a script suitable for starting inn at boot time. The script is usually called /usr/lib/news/bin/rc.news. The script reads arguments from another script, usually called /usr/lib/news/innshellvars, which contains definitions of the filenames and filepaths that inn will use to locate components it needs. It is generally considered a good idea to execute inn with the permissions of a non-root user, such as news. To ensure that inn is started at boot time, you should check that /usr/lib/news/innshellvars is configured correctly and then call the /usr/lib/news/bin/rc.news script from a script executed at boot time. Additionally, there are administrative tasks that must be performed periodically. These tasks are usually configured to be executed by the cron command. The best way to do this is to add the appropriate commands to your
