  • slrnpull fetch list of groups?

    From candycanearter07@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 24 20:02:13 2024
    Hi,
    Is there any way to set up slrnpull to also get the list of all groups
    on the target server? I'm trying to get it set up, but I'd also like to
    be able to subscribe to new groups once I switch fulltime

    No, SLRNPULL does not fetch or add newsgroups to the group configure file.
    The only thing you can do is run SLRN in live mode and have it setup to
    display new newsgroups and then you add those newsgroups you want to view and/or download to the slrnpull configure file.
