That sounds like a job for the UNIX 'at' command. Nah. 'cron' is your friend. 'at' is just the human front end for it. |

'at' is just the human front end for it. True, but the point is, who has a UNIX server with inews running on it and is willing to provide the FAQ posting service? I'd even settle for a mail-to-news gateway (in lieu of inews). I have cron access on a UNIX server, but there's no inews on it. |

I notice that one of the main features of your script is the use of PGP signature. Is this a requirement for FAQ document articles? It is not; but all of the moderated groups that I run require PGP signatures for anything that's posted to them, as anything that's *not* appropriately PGP-signed is automatically cancelled (and filtered through NoCeM as well). So I put in the effort to make sure that my own FAQs are safe. You can probably ignore that part unless you start doing complicated things. There is also mention of possible difficulties if some of the other message header fields are omitted or incorrectly formatted. Is there documentation describing the requirements for FAQ posting someplace? A quick Google search came up with this: http://www.ii.com/internet/faqs/writing/#writing These aren't requirements, they're just the rules for submitting things through to news.answers. (There's problems with news.answers at the moment, too, so that might not be that helpful; but it's a good introduction.) - Tim Skirvin ) Chair, Big-8 Management Board -- http://www.big-8.org/ Big-8 Management Board http://www.killfile.org/~tskirvin/ Skirv's Homepage FISH * |
