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 responsi‐
ble for doing the removal, normally fastrm(8). If there seemed to be a
problem removing the files, then mail is sent to the news administra‐
tor. 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.
