NAME

       cnfsstat - Show usage of CNFS buffers

SYNOPSIS

       cnfsstat [-ahpPsv] [-c class] [-i seconds] [-l [seconds]] [-m buffer]

DESCRIPTION

       cnfsstat reads pathetc/cycbuff.conf and pathetc/storage.conf to determine which CNFS buffers are
       available.  It then reads the specified cyclic buffers and shows their usage status.  cnfsstat can be
       invoked from rc.news if docnfsstat is set to true in inn.conf, and the result is written to syslog(3).

OPTIONS

       -a  Besides its usual output, cnfsstat prints the age of the oldest article in the cycbuff.  You may also
           want to use the -v flag to see extended consistency checks.

       -c class
           Only information for the specified class is printed.

       -h  Print usage information and exit.

       -i seconds
           With  this  option, cnfsstat has an initial sleep of seconds seconds at startup.  This is useful when
           cnfsstat is started at the same time as INN, so that it can wait a little before beginning performing
           its checks.

       -l [seconds]
           With this option, cnfsstat prints a status snapshot every seconds seconds, and only exits if an error
           occurs.  When unspecified, the default interval is "600" seconds.

           At each iteration, cnfsstat  checks  whether  the  cycbuff.conf  and  storage.conf  files  have  been
           modified, and loads the new configuration if needed.

       -m buffer
           Print information about the specified buffer in a format suitable for MRTG.

       -p  Print an MRTG config file.

       -P  Write PID into pathrun/cnfsstat.pid.

       -s  Write output to syslog(3) instead of standard output.

       -v  Write additional information, especially about consistency checks for article storage and the history
           file.
