Please keep in mind, that all software retrieved from CVS is in +a constant change; your script might work now, but it might not work a +moment later. + +Even though the script can handle multiple newsgroups at once, Knewsticker +has not been adjusted to handle such a behavior on its own, therefore please +poll only one newsgroup per executed script. + +You need to customize each executed script to fit your needs, yet before you +can do so, you must be sure, that the version of perl you are running is +providing all the necessary modules for this script to function. You need to +have the following modules installed: + +News::NNTPClient; +MIME::Words + +If you are not sure wheter those are installed, simply execute the script at +the command line and watch for possible errors. Right now the script has no +error handling whatsoever, which might be corrected in future versions. You +can either go and retrieve the modules from www.cpan.org and install them by +hand or run the following command as root, while you are connected to the +Internet: + +perl -MCPAN -e "install module::name" + +Executing this command at the prompt will automatically download and install +the requested module, eventual dependencies will be resolved automatically. + +Once you have installed all the necessary tools, you can start customizing +your script, this means, that you should open it with your favourite editor +and read the comments above each variable you must set carefully. + +Most scripts are commented rather precisely, as it is the case with this +one. Of course you may set which nntp host we are connecting to within the +script, but if you have a host set in /etc/nntpserver the script will ALWAYS +default to that server, this has been implemented for systems, where the +administrator might not wish you to use a different nntp server. Of course +it can be evaded, but we urge you to be polite and use what is offered to +you by the system. + +Once you are sure you have set all the variables as requested in the scripts +upper part, you may now store it anywhere on your hard disk. Make sure you +have read knewstickers help on executing pre commands. + +Enjoy this script. + +anonymous coder. -- cgit v1.2.1
