Canceling Course News Posts (draft)

Course accounts are able to cancel news articles with the cancel-news script.

  • articles may be canceled from the command-line by specifying the article number.
  • articles may be canceled by piping the offending article (at least the headers) into cancel-news.

  • the script will display the entire article in a pager (hit q to only show the first page).
  • the user is normally required to confirm the cancellation with a Y or y followed by carriage-return. 

student.cs$ cancel-news -h
Usage: cancel-news [options] 

  -or- cat article | cancel-test.py [options]
  Must be run by course account user. -h for help.

Options:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  -d, --dry-run  don't do the cancel, do everything up to that point.
  -f, --force    don't display article or require confirmation. Only displays
                 errors (to STDERR).
