Maintaining Changi

Article Expiration

Generally news will be imported once a day, in which case you should also run the Expire program every day to get rid of outdated articles.

Updating The Active File

From time to time Changi will receive so called control messages, which instruct the server to Cancelled articles will be removed by Changi immediately. With the other types of control messages, Changi will perform the action specified in control.ctl or, if that file doesn't exist, create or update two command files, newgroup.cmd for newgroup control messages and rmgroup.cmd for rmgroup control messages, containing related calls to Chanco to create, remove or update the active file. You may inspect these files with an editor before running them.
