* Re-enabling access of a foreign group. @ 1998-08-07 1:08 Lloyd Zusman 1998-08-07 1:30 ` Harry Putnam ` (2 more replies) 0 siblings, 3 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: Lloyd Zusman @ 1998-08-07 1:08 UTC (permalink / raw) 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. -- Lloyd Zusman ljz@asfast.com . ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

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. -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Yes. Go to the server buffer and type `R'. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

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. --Paul ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
