From http://localhost/fudforum/adm/admjobs.php I would like to manually run the nntp cron jobs. There's a message that cron.php has yet to be run.

Is this the correct script to run to fetch nntp messages? And the correct syntax? How could I run this script manually?

thufir@dur:~$
thufir@dur:~$ cat /etc/cron.d/fud
#hmm, is this the right syntax to run this script?
1 * * * * /var/FUDforum/scripts/nntp.php 1
thufir@dur:~$

Ah, well, I did:

chmod a+x /var/FUDforum/scripts/nntp.php

and then was able to run the script as:

/var/FUDforum/scripts/nntp.php 1

from the console,but how to I tell it to get *all* the newsgroups? This command only fetches the first newsgroup.

You can configure all the groups you want to fetch in the Newsgroup Manager. Each one will have a unique identifier. For example, the second one should be:
/var/FUDforum/scripts/nntp.php 2

Alternatively:
/var/FUDforum/scripts/nntp.php my.group.name

Oh, ok. I thought there might be a master script to "fetch all" or that you could put in parameters like 1-20 meaning fetch all groups numbered 1 to 20.

thanks,

We created a 'sync.php' script to handle all our newsgroups (we have about 250):

$sql = "SELECT id,newsgroup FROM " . $GLOBALS['DBHOST_TBL_PREFIX'] . "nntp ORDER BY id asc";
$rs = q($sql);
while($myrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)) {
    exec("/path/to/fudforum/scripts/nntp.php " . $myrow['id']);
}

You could use bash for that:

for i in {1..20}; do /path/to/nntp.php $i; done

Maybe we should just build it into the script and get it done with.

To fetch all:
/path/to/nntp.php

Fetch specific group:
/path/to/nntp.php my.group.name

Deprecate number substitutes (will still work, but remove from documentation):
/path/to/nntp.php 1
