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.
