Leafnode is a small simple NNRP server. The two most important commands it provides are texpire, which expires old messages out of the spool; and fetchnews, which mutters at other news servers to exchange messages. Both provide a -q option. The docs say:
for texpire: Quiet. Print no messages unless problems occur. Cancels preced- ing -v [verbose] options. and for fetchnews: Be quiet. Suppresses some warnings. This flag cancels any previ- ously encountered -v [verbose] flags. So while -v (and -vv, -vvv etc) mean the same for both, -q doesn't. Or at least, they're not documented to be the same. So it's hateful either way. -- David Cantrell | Benevolent Dictator Of The World I hate baby seals. They get asked to all the best clubs.
