NAME

       sndelgroup - delete an existing sn newsgroup

SYNOPSIS

       sndelgroup newsgroup...

DESCRIPTION

       sndelgroup  deletes  the  specified  newsgroups;  i.e. everything under
       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup after removing the article ID entries in the sn
       database.  Do not use the shell command
       rm -rf /var/spool/sn/newsgroup
       because that will leave unreclaimed garbage in the database.

       You will need to own /var/spool/sn  in order to do this.

FILES MODIFIED

       /var/spool/sn/{.chain,.newsgroup},  newsgroup  directory  and contents,
       /var/spool/sn/.ougtoing/news.server.name:port

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in  place  of
              /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.
