9 expirerm file
10
12 expirerm is a script that removes a list of files. The specified file
13 lists the files to be removed. It is usually created by expire -z.
14 This file is sorted, and then fed into a pipeline responsible for doing
15 the removal, normally fastrm. (You may want to edit expirerm to change
16 the flags passed to fastrm.)
17
18 If there seemed to be a problem removing the files, then a mail is sent
19 to the news administrator. If there were no problems, then file is
20 renamed to pathlog/expire.list where it is kept (for safety) until the
21 next time expiration is done.
