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.
