* Can GNUS inform me when I have unread news?

I've just recently started to use GNUS and I wonder if there
is a way to make GNUS inform we when there are new articles
to read. That is, without me needing to press "g" to update
the group buffer. I took a quick look in the index of the
manual and tried to search for words like "time", "update",
"interval" but did not find anything interesting.

Try this:

(setq gnus-use-demon t)                 ; Use some daemonic routines
(gnus-demon-add-handler                 ; Scan for mail in the background
 'gnus-demon-scan-mail-ps 5 1)
(gnus-demon-add-handler                 ; Scan for news in the background
 'gnus-demon-scan-news 5 1)

This worked like a charm for me:

 (setq gnus-use-demon t)                 ; Use some daemonic routines
 (gnus-demon-add-handler                 ; Scan for news in the background
  'gnus-demon-scan-news 5 1)

Thanks!

It seems you're right.  This has probably been yanked from someone's
.gnus years ago.  =)

Well, gnus-demon-scan-mail-ps and gnus-demon-scan-news are defined in
gnus-demon.el.  Is there something wrong with them?  I haven't had
time to look them through, but it works for me.

Yes, I ran into the same mistake when I published the recipe on MGO
because it contains code which is not necessary.

No, gnus-demon-scan-mail-ps doesn't exist in gnus-demon.el either, at
least in my file.

I think the _only_ code you need to add to the your personal
configuration is

(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 5 10)

because this one makes Gnus periodically check mails _and_ news.

I will delete the recipe 302 on MGO today.

Regards,
Marcus

I think I'm caught. I believe the whole recipe is quite useless because
you only have to add one line to your configuration (see my answer to
Steinar). As I wrote on MGO I found this code a long time ago somewhere
and I used it for many months without any problems. After having a
closer look at gnus-demon.el and (info "(gnus)Daemons") I think the
recipe should be deleted (which I'm going to do after this posting).

Regards,
Marcus

D'oh.  I need to proofread (or drink more coffee) before I post.  I
meant gnus-demon-scan-mail.

You're quite right.  Works for me.  Thanks!
