NAME

       innwatch - monitor innd.

SYNOPSIS

       innwatch [ -l logfile ] [ -t seconds ]

DESCRIPTION

       Innwatch  is  normally  started  by /etc/news/boot.  It periodically — every (600) seconds — examines the
       load average, and the number of free blocks and inodes on  the  spool  partition,  as  described  by  its
       control file, innwatch.ctl(5).

       If  the  load  gets  too  high,  or  the disk gets too full, it throttles the server.  When the condition
       restores, it unblocks the server.  In addition, on each pass through the loop it will check  the  logfile
       /var/log/news/news.crit to see if it has been modified, and send mail to the news administrator if so.

       Upon   receipt   of  an  interrupt  signal  (SIGINT),  innwatch  will  report  its  status  in  the  file
       /run/innd/innwatch.status.

OPTIONS

       -l     To specify a log file to watch, other than the default of news.crit, use the ``-l'' flag.

       -t     To change the period between check from the default, use the ``-t'' flag.
