EXPIRERM(8)


NAME

  expirerm - remove articles that have been expired.


SYNOPSIS

  expirerm file


DESCRIPTION

  Expirerm is a script that removes a list of files.  The specified file
  lists the files.  It is sorted, and then fed into a pipeline responsible
  for doing the removal, normally fastrm(8).  If there seemed to be a problem
  removing the files, then mail is sent to the news administrator.  If there
  were no problems, then file is renamed to <pathlog in inn.conf>/expire.list
  where it is kept (for safety) until the next time expiration is done.
