Price) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 17 Keywords: news forwarding batching I ran into the problem of what to do about unpacking during the middle of the day also. In my case, the sites downstream were complaining that they were not getting news until after we did our unbatches at night. The fix was to use an rnews replacement which spooled the news in a private directory, and directly forwarded the inbound news out through uux. This meant that the downstream sites received their news right away, and we had a private copy of the batched news to unpack at our convenience. This will only work if you are forwarding all news to the next site rather than a selected set of newsgroups however. -- Douglas H.
