expirerm(8) - Linux man page
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
<pathlog in inn.conf>/expire.list where it is
kept (for safety) until the next time expiration is done.
