Help!

I am trying to write a shell script that will use inews to automatically
post a message to a local newsgroup (let's call it foo.test) once a month.
The shell script will run a program, and put the results into an article
using inews. There is one slight problem; inews chokes on the idea. Throwing
me memory faults. I have been trying..

inews -t 'This is the Subject' -n 'foo.test' -e 'Sun Jan 11 13:13:13 PDT 1986' -d 'local' -o 'Generic Witticism'

and piping the standard input from the program who's results I want to post.
