✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to EXPIRERM(8) — the InterNetNews Documentation page for expirerm, aka remove articles that have been expired. it’s giving cleanup crew, no cap 💅

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

expirerm file

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so expirerm is a script that removes a list of files. the specified file literally lists the files to be removed. it is usually created by expire -z. this file is sorted, and then fed into a pipeline responsible for doing the removal, normally fastrm. (you may want to edit expirerm to change the flags passed to fastrm — iykyk 🫶)

if there seemed to be a problem removing the files, then a mail is sent to the news administrator 😭. if there were no problems, then file is renamed to pathlog/expire.list where it is kept (for safety) until the next time expiration is done ✨.

safety first, bestie — that list gets tucked away for next time 💖
