SENDBATCH(8)          MAINTENANCE COMMANDS           SENDBATCH(8)



NAME
     sendbatch - send news articles in batches

SYNOPSIS
     sendbatch [ -ssize ] [ -i sitename ] [ -c ] [ -c7 ] [  -obBC
     ] site

DESCRIPTION
     sendbatch  prepares  and  transmits  a  batch  of  news  for
     unbatching by another machine.

     If sendbatch is called with no flags,  it  will  submit  the
     batched  news (from /usr/spool/news/site) queued up for site
     to  uux  for  transmission  and  exectution  on  the  remote
     machine.

     Several flags are available to modify sendbatch's behavior.

     The -c flag says to use compression to reduce  the  site  of
     the transmitted file.

     The -c7 flag is normally used for sending articles over X.25
     links.   It  will  cause the batch of news to be compressed,
     then piped through encode to reduce the 8-bit data  into  7-
     bit characters.

     The -s flag is used to modify the size of  the  batches.  By
     default, the batch size is 50,000 bytes.

     The -i flag says to send a batch  of  Message-IDs  with  the
     ihave protocol.

     The -o flag is used with the -c  flag  to  produce  and  old
     style  compress  batch  suitable  for  systems  with version
     2.10.2 news.

     The -bBC flags are passed directly to compress  and  may  be
     used to change its compression algorithms if necessary.

EXAMPLES
     To send to a PDP 11/70 running 2.10.2 compressed batching:
          sendbatch  -c -C -b12 -o sitename

     To send to a VAX running 2.11 compressed batching:
          sendbatch -c sitename

     To send to a VAX over  an  X.25  network  using  batches  of
     30,000 bytes:
          sendbatch -c7 -s30000 sitename

     To send to a  Sun  running  2.11  compressed  batching  with
     ihave/sendme :
