This is why I run an "NNTPCacheBot" that just connects to the server every 5 minutes. The server seems to update the active file when ever it gets a new connection as well. The bot is in perl, using lib-net, and run from a crontab. Works great when not a lot of users are connecting/disconnecting from the server: #!/usr/local/bin/perl # # Just "pings" the NNTPCache server to reset it's active lists use Net::NNTP; $nntp = Net::NNTP->new() or die "Can not connect to news server"; $nntp->quit; __END__ -- -Zenin (zenin@archive.rhps.org) The Bawdy Caste (San Jose, CA) http://www.bawdycaste.org/ Barely Legal (Berzerkly, CA) http://www.barelylegal.org/ Zenin's Rocky Horror Archive http://www.archive.rhps.org/ RHFC1.1 V!M!P1S2RBL24Y1980 P*B-R+20@H-D+100@W+200@T+5@P?L15@Y1990&1@(7@)!1 C8@W3@P@& IF&-W&&-N+M1C-!
