ACTIVE.TIMES(5) InterNetNews Documentation ACTIVE.TIMES(5)NAMEactive.times - List of local creation times of newsgroups
DESCRIPTION
The file pathdb/active.times provides a chronological record of when
newsgruops were created on the local server. This file is normally
updated by innd whenever a newgroup control message is processed or a
"ctlinnd newgroup" command is issued, and is used by nnrpd to answer
NEWGROUPS requests.
Each line consists of three fields:
<name> <time> <creator>
The first field is the name of the newsgroup. The second field is the
time it was created, expressed as the number of seconds since the
epoch. The third field is the e-mail addrses of the person who created
the group, as specified in the control message or on the ctlinnd com‐
mand line, or the newsmaster specified at configure time if no creator
argument was given to ctlinnd.
