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 /var/log/news/expire.list where it is kept (for  safety)  until  the  next  day's
       expiration.
