From my script thath downloads only non-binarry groups:
"sudo -u news env 'LN_SKIP_GROUPS=alt.binar*,alt.binair*' /usr/sbin/fetchnews
-vv"
This requires the my user my run /usr/bin/getchnews assuming the identity of
user 'news'.
From the config /etc/sudoers:
# Runas alias specification
werner ALL=(news) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/fetchnews
werner ALL=(news) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/texpire
werner ALL=(news) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/env
Enjoy !
