EXPIRERM ()

NAME
     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
     <config$_PATH_MOST_LOGS>/expire.list                           (typically
     /var/log/news/expire.list) where it is kept (for safety) until  the  next
     day's expiration.
