- The flow of news articles through C news is as follows: a batch
- is received by some network service and passed to rnews, which
- invokes $NEWSBIN/input/newsspool to queue the batch in
- $NEWSARTS/in.coming; eventually $NEWSBIN/input/newsrun will be
- run by cron, it uncompresses any files in.coming and either hands
- the article to $NEWBIN/relay/relaynews locally or invokes re¡
- laynews over a network connection on its file server.
-
- relaynews writes the name of each spool file onto the ends of
- batch files for neighbours. Eventually cron runs $NEWS¡
- BIN/batch/sendbatches, which batches up the outgoing articles and
- transmits them over some network.
