2.15 Exiting Gnus

Yes, Gnus is ex(c)iting.

z

Suspend Gnus (gnus-group-suspend). This doesn't really exit Gnus, but it kills all buffers except the Group buffer. I'm not sure why this is a gain, but then who am I to judge?

q

Quit Gnus (gnus-group-exit).

Q

Quit Gnus without saving the `.newsrc' files (gnus-group-quit). The dribble file will be saved, though (see section 1.9 Auto Save).

gnus-suspend-gnus-hook is called when you suspend Gnus and gnus-exit-gnus-hook is called when you quit Gnus, while gnus-after-exiting-gnus-hook is called as the final item when exiting Gnus.

Note:

Miss Lisa Cannifax, while sitting in English class, felt her feet go numbly heavy and herself fall into a hazy trance as the boy sitting behind her drew repeated lines with his pencil across the back of her plastic chair.
