NAMErc.news - Start or stop INN daemonsSYNOPSISrc.news ["start" | "stop"]DESCRIPTIONrc.news can be used to start or stop innd and supporting programs. It checks to make sure INN is not already running, handles cases of unclean shutdown, finishes up tasks which might have been interrupted by the preceding shutdown, e-mails certain boot-time warnings to newsmaster (as set in inn.conf), and is generally safer and easier than starting and stopping everything directly. It needs to be run as the news user so that files in pathrun are created with the right ownership (though this is less important for "rc.news stop").Programs run and stopped by this script include:
OPTIONS
