The following scripts exist in this directory:

+ check-spool -- find orphaned news articles (those without history entries)
+ innd.restart -- start innd 
+ inndoexpire -- overall administration for expire.
+ innexpireiflow -- run inndoexpire if free space is short
+ sync-from-isc -- synchronize active file with Internet Software Consortium
+ uof -- try to find processes that have open but unlinked files
+ ving -- edit the INN newsgroups file, interlocking against control messages

Each script contains comments that more fully describe what it
is intended to do.

Most are shell scripts, except for uof, which is a perl script.

Most are pretty platform independent, except for uof, which was written
under BSD/OS and needs a system that supports the 'fstat' _command_
(not system call).  This pretty much limits it to BSD derivatives.

Most are for INN, except for uof, which isn't particularly a news
program, and for check-spool, which just needs a few comment lines
changed to work with C News.

Most, except for uof, should have 'subst -f your_config.data_file' run
on them to have your local configuration correctly set up.  uof should
run out-of-the-wrapper on a BSD system.  Even with C News and
check-spool you should run subst ('subst -f substitutions check-spool'),
and then change the comments as described in the script.

Most, except for uof, take no arguments.  uof takes the root of a
filesystem as an argument.

Most, except for uof, are best run as the news user.  uof should be
run as root.
