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.
