NEWSQ(1)

✨ NEWSQ ✨

okay bestie, welcome to newsq from the General Commands Manual — the little tool that tells you what your news server is still holding onto before it ships it out 💌

---

💖 NAME 💖

newsq — list news server outgoing queue

no cap, that's the whole job. she lists. she queues. she serves. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

newsq [ options ] [ hostname...  ]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Unless your options say otherwise, newsq lists the current outgoing queue for the hosts you named. Drop no names at all? Then she shows you the queues of all external news hosts. literally all of them. main character energy for your whole spool. 💅

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -a — list all entries, even the ones with zero outgoing messages. yes, the quiet ones get a moment too 🫶
• --batch batchdir — use batchdir as the outgoing news article spool directory instead of the default .
• --cnews — set to C News mode 🎀
• -c — continuously lists state of currently active newsx processes. she's watching. always watching 👀
• --inn — set to INN mode 💜
• -n — show the size of the outgoing quene (that's the original's spelling bestie, we do not fix what we did not break 🍓)
• -q — quiet operation, useful for getting outgoing queue empty vs. non-empty status. perfect for when you just need a yes/no and not a whole conversation 😌
• -s — list state of currently active newsx processes
• -w secs — continuously lists state, pause secs seconds between displays. like a little refresh loop, a vibe check on repeat 🌈
