Due to complications with homeboy scripting and a shoddy news to mail
setup, I find myself needing to run nnml-generate-nov-databases-1 on a
certain directory to clean up a mess left (duplicates) by flaws in my
imperfect setup. My temporary cure is to delete the dups then run
n-g-n-d-1.
While trying to perfect this setup, I'd like to run that command in
batch mode several times a day. Finally figured out the command line
but don't understand certain aspects. Examples:
$ emacs -batch -f gnus-no-server -eval \
'(nnml-generate-nov-databases-1 "/mnt/hdc2/n2nnml")'
Fails with this error:
[...]
Reading /home/reader/.newsrc-enews.newsguy.com.eld...
Checking new news...
Trying to require a method that doesn't exist
$ emacs -batch -f gnus -eval \
'(nnml-generate-nov-databases-1 "/mnt/hdc2/n2nnml")'
(or -f gnus-slave)
That works but queries the nntp server and does other things I'd
rather not bother with. However in both cases I get queried about
reading the autosave file:
Gnus auto-save file exists. Do you want to read it? (y or n)
Which rules out running this unattended.
1)
Can anyone tell me why using `-f gnus-no-server' fails in that way.
Is it simply that I've told gnus to use no servers then demand an nnml
server be used?
Is there something I could load that would prevent that particular
failure, yet still not query the nntpserver?
2)
How can I prevent the query about autosave file, or at least have it
auto answered.

You should put something like "(gnus-open-server '(nnml ""))" (or the
like) into that line to make sure that the function is loaded before
you try calling it. Perhaps.
