Very Computer

I have been successful in getting almost every part of INN to compile and work
correctly.  The last piece of the puzzle is actually transfering the articles
from here to somewhere.

I'll try and give as complete a description of my problems as I can, if anyone
needs more information feel free to ask.

nntpsend.log:

sh: PPID: read-only variable
nntpsend: [31996] start
mv: montego: No such file or directory
nntpsend: [31996] stop

the mv montego error is correct in that there isn't anything new to feed to
montego, as all the articles to feed montego are currently in a file
montego.umcc.umich.edu.nntp waiting to arrive.  I've tried taking out all
references to PPID from nntpsend with no change.

The system this is running on is a 1.0.4 Linux Kernal with NET3.  Any help
would be most appreciated.

Ah! I actually can answer a question! I just solved this problem. In the
nntpsend script file, test for the site file with an if statement. About
line 250 there is a statement that says:

mv ${SITE} ${SITE}.work

Replace it with:

if [ -f ${SITE} ] ; then
        mv ${SITE} ${SITE}.work
fi

I discovered that the SITE file wasn't there [sometimes] and the command
was giving an error. Since the code is running in the background, it stopped
execution and the rest of the code that flushes the buffers and transfers
the articles never got executed!

I'm using bash1.13.5 and linux 1.0 kernel. There maybe another reason for
this or another way to solve it, but I know this worked for me!

Do a global replace changing PPID to something else, like MOMMY.

Someone else already answered this problem.
