I run this from cron every hour: newshound -f -d 3 > newshound.log 2>&1 This will fetch all new articles for the groups listed in the "hound.list" file. The "-d 3" just sets the level of debug information that gets generated. I create the initial "hound.list" file with the names of the groups that I want to fetch. For example: server1/rec.sport.volleyball 1582 server2/rec.video 3367 The number following the group is the highest article number that has been fetched so far. Start this with the lowest article number in the group and from then on, newshound will update this number when it runs.
