Re-enabling access of a foreign group.

Re-enabling access of a foreign group.

[Lloyd Zusman]

I keep Gnus (currently version 5.6.27) up and running for huge amounts
of time at a stretch, and when `sunsite.auc.dk' goes down, Gnus
eventually figures this out and obligingly marks my Emacs-ding
newsgroup (`nntp+sunsite.auc.dk:emacs.ding') with an asterisk and
ceases to access it.

The `sunsite.auc.dk' site always manages to eventually come up again,
but when this happens, I have yet to figure out how to tell Gnus to
start re-accessing this group.  I have to exit Gnus and emacs and
restart everything in order for this group to become accessible.

Is there some way to force Gnus to re-enable access to a
previously-blocked foreign newsgroup without exiting and restarting?

Thanks in advance.

Haven't used 'sunsite.auk.dk lately or any foreign groups, but I seem
to remember being able to go to server buffer '^' Press 'C' (close)
with cursor on the proper server (which will probably say 'denied')
and then after a moment or two press 'O' (open) wait a bit and up it
would come.

Yes.  Go to the server buffer and type `R'.

Well, you could do something interesting in the server buffer, but
if I remember right, there was a recent change so that M-g in the
*Group* buffer would always try to reopen the server of the group at
point.
