EXPIRERM(8)EXPIRERM(8)NAMEexpirerm - remove articles that have been expired.
SYNOPSISexpirerm 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 adminis-
trator. 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.
