This (below) isn't the world's greatest sh script or anything but it's
something I just whipped together for reading these ng's via trn at
visi.com... There are two main things the script has to do:
1) Maintain multiple copies of .newsrc
2) Set environment variable appropriately before launching trn
---------------------------begin file rnl------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
cd $HOME
mv .newsrc .newsrc-visi
mv .newsrc-lugnet .newsrc
NNTPSERVER=lugnet.com
NNTPPORT=119
export NNTPSERVER
export NNTPPORT
trn -x -X
mv .newsrc .newsrc-lugnet
mv .newsrc-visi .newsrc
----------------------------end file rnl-------------------------------
Anyone know a better, cleaner way to accomplish the same effect? (For one
thing, the script above doesn't handle HUP signals and stuff like that.)
Looks like Pine has built-in support for handling multiple newsservers.
