NAME
       sendinpaths - Send Usenet Path: statistics via e-mail

SYNOPSIS
       sendinpaths [-cdhn] [-k keep-days] [-r report-days] [address [address
       ...]]

DESCRIPTION
       sendinpaths checks pathlog/path for ninpaths dump files, finds dump
       files generated in the past report-days days, makes sure they are valid
       by running ninpaths on each one and making sure the exit status is
       zero, and passes them to ninpaths to generate a cumulative report.  By
       default, that report is mailed to the e-mail addresses configured at
       the beginning of this script (by default, only one address is
       configured: <top1000@anthologeek.net>) in order to supply the TOP1000
       project with useful statistics.  See <http://top1000.anthologeek.net/>
       for more information.

       When finished, sendinpaths deletes all dump files in pathlog/path that
       are older than keep-days days.

       For more information on how to set up ninpaths, see ninpaths(8).

OPTIONS
       -c  When this flag is used, the report is also e-mailed, besides the
           default submission addresses or those given as command-line
           arguments, to the newsmaster's address set at configure time.

       -d  Enables debug messages.

       -h  Gives usage information.

       -k keep-days
           After having processed dump files, sendinpaths removes those that
           are older than keep-days days.  The default is 0, that is to say to
           remove all dump files.

           Setting keep-days to another value can be useful for debugging
           purpose because it permits keeping a few dump files.

       -n  Don't e-mail the report; instead, just print it to standard output.
           Don't delete old dump files.

       -r report-days
           Process dump files generated during the last report-days days.  The
           default is 32, that is to say to process all the dump files that
           have been generated during the last 32 days (if, of course, they
           have not been deleted yet by a previous run of sendinpaths
           according to the value set by the -k flag).

       address ...
           E-mail the report to the mentioned address or addresses, instead of
           the default one.  Several addresses can be used, separated by
           whitespace (sending the e-mail to your own e-mail address can be
           useful for debugging purpose, to check that everything works fine).
           For instance, for two addresses:

               sendinpaths pathsurvey@example.org top1000@anthologeek.net
