thanks for your answer but that's not what iam looking for
it's my fault, i have not explain my problem
in fact i already use levels, but the problem comes with the
gnus-agent which don't use levels (i think)

at gnus start-up, gnus check for new news for level 2 (mail+news), then
i've made a hook wich tell the agent to download all the messages with
good scores. The problem is that i don't know to tell gnus-agent not
to dowload rss message (it's too long, i have 100 feed)

that's why i want to start with nnrss server offline, agent won't download
rss messages, and once a day i open the nrss server and download all

it's the only solution i find but i don't know how starting gnus with
nnrss server offline. if there's another solution...

regards
