1mNAME22m
checknews - check for unread news
1mSYNOPSIS22m
1mchecknews22m
1mDESCRIPTION22m
4mChecknews24m informs the user whether he has unread news. It
is suitable for running from a 1m.profile22m (or 1m.login22m if you
use a certain nonstandard shell) file.
4mChecknews24m normally runs 4mreadnews24m(1) with the 1m-c22m option.
As a heuristic concession to practicality, if the user has
a 1m.rnlast22m file in his $HOME directory, 4mchecknews24m runs
1mrn22m 1m-c22m 1m-s322m instead.
