INNWATCH(8)
NAME
  innwatch - monitor innd.

SYNOPSIS
  innwatch [ -l logfile ] [ -t seconds ]

DESCRIPTION
  Innwatch is normally started by rc.news.  It periodically - every
  <innwatchsleeptime in inn.conf> seconds - examines the load average, and
  the number of free blocks and inodes on the spool partition, as described
  by its control file, innwatch.ctl.

  If the load gets too high, or the disk gets too full, it throttles the
  server.  When the condition restores, it unblocks the server.	 In addition,
  on each pass through the loop it will check the logfile <pathlog in
  inn.conf>/news.crit to see if it has been modified, and send mail to the
  news administrator if so.

  Upon receipt of an interrupt signal (SIGINT), innwatch will report its
  status in the file <pathrun in inn.conf>/innwatch.status.

OPTIONS
  -l logfile
       To specify a log file to watch, other than the default of news.crit,
       use the ``-l'' flag.

  -t seconds
       To change the period between checks from the default from inn.conf ,
       use the ``-t'' flag.
