ACTIVED(8)					       ACTIVED(8)

NAME
       actived	-  a  daemon  to handle nnrpd requests for active
       file information.

SYNOPSIS
       actived

DESCRIPTION
       Actived is a process that keeps an in-memory copy  of  the
       news active(5) file along with its hashed index and serves
       requests	 for  active  file  information	  from	 nnrpd(8)
       clients.	 This  saves  significants  amounts of memory for
       each nnrpd client and also reduces its startup time as  it
       no  longer  needs to index the active file. The process is
       able to handle many requests as second and should  improve
       the overall performance of news reader machines.

       Actived	is  enabled  with the ``activedenable'' option in
       inn.conf(5)  and	 is   started	by   inndstart(8).    The
       ``activedupdate''  option determines how often the in-mem-
       ory copy of the active file is updated and the  ``actived-
       port''  option  allows  one  to	specify	 the  UDP port to
       send/receive requests.

       The  process  writes  its   process   ID	  into	 a   file
       pathrun/actived.pid on startup. The process remains active
       until killed manually. If it is killed or  dies	for  some
       reason, clients will revert to direct access to the active
       file, which will be a lot slower.

SEE ALSO
       inndstart(8), nnrpd(8), inn.conf(5), active(5).
