Introduction
|

|
|
|

|
News is used to read and maintain news relevant to a local system.
|
||
|
|
Typically it is run from the .login script so it can automatically
|
||
|
|
check for any new news items. If it finds any, it will report,
|
||
|
|
"You have news: item1 item2 etc..."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To read the news, simply type "news". Note, you may wish to type
|
||
|
|
"news | more" in case the news is too long to fit on a single
|
||
|
|
screen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For complete information on the program, see the man page.

Administration

|
|

|
|
To add news items to your system, simply copy a text file containing
|
||
|
|
the information to the news directory. (This directory defaults to
|
||
|
|
/var/news, but can be changed in the Makefile or through the
|
||
|
|
environment variable, NEWS_PATH)
