609 | ||
610 | B<yapfaq> posts (one or more) FAQs to Usenet with a certain posting | |
611 | frequency (every n days, weeks, months or years), adding all necessary | |
612 | headers as defined in its config file (by default F<yapfaq.cfg>). | |
613 | ||
614 | =head2 Configuration | |
615 | ||
616 | F<yapfaq.cfg> consists of one or more blocks, separated by C<=====> on | |
617 | a single line, each containing the configuration for one FAQ as a set | |
227afd47 TH |
618 | of definitions in the form of I<param = value>. Everything after a "#" |
619 | sign is ignored so you may comment your configuration file. | |

634 | This value must be set. | |
635 | ||
636 | =item B<Posting-frequency> = I<time period> | |
637 | ||
638 | The posting frequency defines how often your FAQ will be posted. | |
639 | B<yapfaq> will only post your FAQ if this period of time has passed | |
640 | since the last posting. | |
641 | ||
642 | You can declare that time period either in I<B<d>ays> or I<B<w>weeks> | |
643 | or I<B<m>onths> or I<B<y>ears>. | |

650 | header will be calculated adding this time period to today's date. | |
651 | ||
652 | You can declare this time period either in I<B<d>ays> or I<B<w>weeks> | |
653 | or I<B<m>onths> or I<B<y>ears>. | |

663 | ||
664 | =item B<Subject> = I<subject> | |
665 | ||
666 | The title of your FAQ as it will appear in the Subject header of the | |
667 | message. | |
668 | ||
669 | You may use the special string C<%LM> which will be replaced with | |
670 | the contents of the Last-Modified subheader in your I<File>. | |
671 | ||
672 | This value must be set. | |
673 | ||
674 | =item B<NGs> = I<newsgroups> | |
675 | ||
676 | A comma-separated list of newsgroup(s) to post your FAQ to as it will | |

696 | epoch), respectively. | |
272b0243 | 697 | |
ac69c3ee TH |
698 | This setting is optional; the default is '<%n-%d.%m.%y@I<YOURHOST>>' |
699 | where I<YOURHOST> is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the | |
700 | host B<yapfaq> is running on. Obviously that will only work if you | |
701 | have defined a reasonable hostname that the hostfqdn() function of | |
702 | Net::Domain can return. | |
272b0243 | 703 | |
ac69c3ee | 704 | =item B<Supersede> = I<yes> (optional) |

777 | ||
272b0243 TH |
778 | Information about the last post and about how to form message IDs for |
779 | posts is stored in a file named F<I<project name>.cfg> which will be | |
780 | generated if it does not exist. Each of those status files will | |
781 | contain two lines, the first being the date of the last time the FAQ | |
782 | was posted and the second being the message ID of that incarnation. | |
783 | ||

784 | =head2 Runtime Configuration |
785 | ||
786 | Apart from configuring which FAQ(s) to post you may (re)set some | |
787 | runtime configuration variables via the .rcfile (by default | |
788 | F<.yapfaqrc>). F<.yapfaqrc> must contain one definition in the form of | |
789 | I<param = value> on each line; everything after a "#" sign is ignored. | |
790 | ||
791 | If you omit some settings they will be set to default values hardcoded | |
792 | in F<yapfaq.pl>. | |

797 | ||
798 | =item B<NNTPServer> = I<NNTP server> (mandatory) | |
799 | ||
800 | Host name of the NNTP server to post to. Must be set (or omitted; the | |
801 | default is "localhost"); if set to en empty string, B<yapfaq> falls | |
802 | back to Perl's build-in defaults (contents of environment variables | |
803 | NNTPSERVER and NEWSHOST; if not set, default from Net::Config; if not | |
804 | set, "news" is used). | |
805 | ||
806 | =item B<NNTPUser> = I<user name> (optional) | |
807 | ||
808 | User name used for authentication with the NNTP server (I<AUTHINFO | |
809 | USER>). | |
810 | ||
811 | This setting is optional; if it is not set, I<NNTPPass> is ignored and | |
812 | no authentication is tried. | |
813 | ||
814 | =item B<NNTPPass> = I<password> (optional) | |
815 | ||
816 | Password used for authentication with the NNTP server (I<AUTHINFO | |
817 | PASS>). | |
818 | ||
819 | This setting is optional; it must be set if I<NNTPUser> is present. | |
820 | ||
821 | =item B<Sender> = I<Sender header> (optional) | |
822 | ||
823 | The Sender header that will be added to every posted message. | |
824 | ||
825 | This setting is optional. | |
826 | ||
827 | =item B<ConfigFile> = I<configuration file> (mandatory) | |
828 | ||
829 | The configuration file defining the FAQ(s) to post. Must be set (or | |
830 | omitted; the default is "yapfaq.cfg"). | |
831 | ||
832 | =item B<UsePGP> = I<whether to add a digital signature> (optional) | |
833 | ||
834 | Boolean value (0 or 1) controlling whether the FAQs will get digitally | |
835 | signed via an X-PGP-Sig header. | |
836 | ||
837 | This setting is optional; the default is 0. | |
838 | ||
839 | If you have set I<UsePGP> to 1, you must also supply the necessary | |
840 | information on your PGP oder GPG installation; please refer to the | |
841 | sample F<.yapfaqrc> file (see below) for more information on this | |
842 | topic. | |

875 | =item B<-V> (version) |
876 | ||
877 | Print out version and copyright information on B<yapfaq> and exit. | |
878 | ||
272b0243 TH |
879 | =item B<-h> (help) |
880 | ||

272b0243 TH |
882 | |
883 | =item B<-v> (verbose) | |
884 | ||
885 | Print out status information while running to STDOUT. | |
886 | ||
887 | =item B<-p> (post unconditionally) | |
888 | ||
889 | Post (all) FAQs unconditionally ignoring the posting frequency setting. | |
890 | ||
891 | You may want to use this with the B<-f> option (see below). | |
892 | ||
893 | =item B<-d> (dry run) | |
894 | ||
895 | Start B<yapfaq> in simulation mode, i.e. don't post anything and don't | |
896 | update any status information. | |
897 | ||
898 | =item B<-t> I<newsgroup(s) | CONSOLE> (test) | |
899 | ||
900 | Don't post to the newsgroups defined in F<yqpfaq.cfg>, but to the | |
901 | newsgroups given after B<-t> as a comma-separated list or print the | |
902 | FAQs to STDOUT separated by lines of dashes if the special string | |
903 | C<CONSOLE> is given. This can be used to preview what B<yapfaq> would | |
904 | do without embarassing yourself on Usenet. The status files are not | |
905 | updated when this option is given. | |
906 | ||
907 | You may want to use this with the B<-f> option (see below). | |
908 | ||
909 | =item B<-f> I<project name> | |
910 | ||
911 | Just deal with one FAQ only. | |
912 | ||
913 | By default B<yapfaq> will work on all FAQs that are defined in | |
914 | F<yapfaq.cfg>, check whether they are due for posting and - if they | |
915 | are - post them. Consequently when the B<-p> option is set all FAQs | |
916 | will be posted unconditionally. That may not be what you want to | |
917 | achieve, so you can limit the operation of B<yapfaq> to the named FAQ | |
918 | only. | |
919 | ||
b855559e TH |
920 | =item B<-s> I<program> (pipe to script) |
921 | ||
922 | Instead of posting the article(s) to Usenet pipe them to the external | |
923 | I<program> on STDIN (which may post the article(s) then). A return | |
924 | value of 0 will be considered success. | |
925 | ||
227afd47 TH |
926 | =item B<-c> I<.rc file> |
927 | ||
928 | Load another runtime configuration file (.rc file) than F<.yaofaq.rc>. | |
929 | ||
930 | You may for example define another usenet server to post your FAQ(s) | |
931 | to or load another configuration file defining (an)other FAQ(s). | |
