NNPOST(1)                 UNIX System V(Release 6.4)                  NNPOST(1)


NAME
      nnpost - post news articles (nn)

SYNOPSIS
      nnpost [ -dksy string ] [ -f file ] [ -p ] [ group... ]

DESCRIPTION
      nnpost is used to post new articles using nn's normal interface, but
      without entering nn in reading mode.

      When started, it reads the init file and then directly executes nn's
      :post command.

      It will prompt for a (comma-separated) list of news groups, the article
      subject, a list of keywords, a summary, and the distribution of the
      article.  Each of these prompts can also be supplied via command line
      options or arguments as described below.

      When prompted for the "Newsgroup:", entering a ? as the first key will
      cause nnpost to list all the known news groups and their purpose (if this
      information is available).  You can also enter / followed by a word or
      regular expression which will cause nnpost to produce a (much) shorter
      listing only containing the groups whose name and/or purpose description
      matches the regular expression.  When paging through either list, you can
      enter q to quit the listing.

      If a source file is specified with -f it will be used as the initial
      article body.  If the -p option is also specified, the article is posted
      directly without editing.

OPTIONS
      -d distribution
            Use the specified distribution for the article.

      -k "keywords"
            Associate the specified keywords with the article.

      -s "subject"
            Use the specified subject for the new article.

      -y "summary"
            Include the given summary in the article header.

      -f file
            Read the article body from the specified file.

      -p    Post the article specified with -f without editing.
