.SH NAME
expirerm \- remove articles that have been expired.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B expirerm
.I file
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Expirerm
is a script that removes a list of files.
The specified
.I file
lists the files.
It is sorted, and then fed into a pipeline responsible for doing
the removal, normally
.IR 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
.I file
is renamed to
.\" =()<.I @<_PATH_MOST_LOGS>@/expire.list>()=
.I /var/log/news/expire.list
where it is kept (for safety) until the next day's expiration.
