The news utility prints news items stored in /var/news. When invoked
|
||
|
|
without any arguments, news prints the name and timestamp of each current
|
||
|
|
item followed by its contents, most recent first. An item is considered
|
||
|
|
``current'' if it has a modification time newer than the file
|
||
|
|
~/.news_time, a file that news creates if it does not exist. If that
|
||
|
|
file does exist, news will update the timestamp on that file each time it
|
||
|
|
is run.
