Exiting GNUS

s

x

Update the startup file `.newsrc' (gnus-Group-force-update).

z

Suspend the current GNUS session to make it possible to resume it later (gnus-Group-suspend).

q

Update the startup file `.newsrc', and then exit GNUS (gnus-Group-exit).

Q

Exit GNUS without updating the startup file `.newsrc' (gnus-Group-quit).

If a GNUS session is suspended by the command z (gnus-Group-suspend), it is possible to resume it later without any time-consuming initializations. Switch to the Newsgroup buffer and type g (gnus-Group-get-new-news) to get newly arrived articles if you want to resume the suspended GNUS session. It is a good idea to update the startup file (see section Startup File) before suspending GNUS.

If you want to forget what you read this GNUS session, exit GNUS by the command Q (gnus-Group-quit). Otherwise, exit by the command q (gnus-Group-exit) to update the startup file.

The hook gnus-Exit-gnus-hook is called when exiting GNUS, and the hook gnus-Suspend-gnus-hook is called when suspending GNUS. If you want to clear out Emacs buffers which were created by GNUS and remain afterwards, use these hooks.
