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 adminis-
       trator.  If there were no problems, then file  is  renamed
       to /var/log/news/expire.list where it is kept (for safety)
       until the next day's expiration.
