expirerm - remove articles that have been expired.
expirerm file
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.
