NEWSPACE(1)

NAME
newspace - show how much space each newsgroup uses

SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/news/newspace

DESCRIPTION
Newspace is a shell script which displays the total disk space used by the articles in each Usenet newsgroup. While du(1) is used to measure the disk space, the report is not a du of all the newgroup directories, but the disk space used by that newsgroup alone; eg, the total for net.music does not include the total for net.music.gdead.

The output is sorted so that largest newsgroups are displayed first.

FILES

/usr/lib/news/active
    list of newsgroups to measure

/usr/spool/news/*
    where all newsgroups are stored

DIAGNOSTICS
Self-explanetory. In particular, the list of newsgroups to measure is taken from /usr/lib/news/active; and the newsgroups are expected to be found under /usr/spool/news.
