NAME

6       expirerm - Remove articles that have been expired
7

SYNOPSIS

9       expirerm file
10

DESCRIPTION

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.
