I am looking for expert assistance in the use of the ihave/sendme type
protocol.  What I REALLY want to do is to be able to generate messages which
tell my feeding site "Whoops!  Some how I missed this article when unbatching.
Can you please resend it?".  I dont want a lot of overhead typically, this
is usually a once in a while situation - I run out of disk space, permission
modes wrong, something.  When I try to post a message to the control
group to have the feed sendme the articles, it only appears locally.  I assume
that somewhere a flag has been compiled in that keep control postings 
local.  What I REALLY want is some how to limit distribution to JUST the
site feeding me.

Anyone have any ideas?

One other, unrelated question.  If one has a series of uucico's running, and
for some reason have to stop things quickly, what is the best techniques
to do this?  Is there a signal to send it to say 'cleanly shut down after
the current batch, removing all lock files and leaving all unprocessed batches
for later handling?"  Something like this would be nice to have in the routine
which shuts down a system for maintenance, standalone time, etc.

Thanks!!
