You may wish to take a look at my sendbatches package (written in Perl now) which allows this, but take care: its transport independant, ie it will not check for the size of the UUCP queue. Feature to be added.

A typical cron could be that: 55 * * * * /bin/rnews -U 56 4 * * * /local/news/bin/news.daily delayrm expireover + a regular call to sendbatches or send-uucp + a regular call to nntpsend for those using this transport. -- Christophe Wolfhugel | Email: Christophe.Wolfhugel@grasp.insa-lyon.fr
