Hey this is emacs!
gnus-use-ping If we want to use ping.
gnus-ping-command-list Which ping to use.
gnus-ping-timeout How long to wait for 'host is alive'.
gnus-ping-continously Ping other machine while reading news.
gnus-ping-secondary-methods Ping machines used by secondary methods.
(Possibly a list of methods).
gnus-ping-fail-hook What to do if the ping fails
gnus-ping-suceed-hook What to do if the ping suceeds.
gnus-ping-pre-hook What to do before pinging.
gnus-ping-post-hook What to do after pinging.
gnus-ping-pong Ping again when 'host is alive' just to
make sure the host is alive. If numeric,
ping host that many times.
gnus-ping-myself Is I'm not alive, don't even start Gnus.
gnus-ping-per-persson Send a mail to me, telling me my ideas
are moronic. If numeric, mail me that
many times.
