sndelgroup,v0.3.8(8) System Manager's Manual sndelgroup,v0.3.8(8)NAME
sndelgroup - delete an existing sn newsgroup
SYNOPSIS
sndelgroup newsgroup...
DESCRIPTION
sndelgroup deletes the specified newsgroups; i.e. everything under /var/spool/sn/newsgroup after removing the article ID entries in the sn
database. Do not use the shell command
rm -rf /var/spool/sn/newsgroup
because that will leave unreclaimed garbage in the database.
You will need to own /var/spool/sn in order to do this.
FILES MODIFIED
/var/spool/sn/{.chain,.newsgroup}, newsgroup directory and contents, /var/spool/sn/.ougtoing/news.server.name:port
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.
SEE ALSO
snnewgroup

snexpire - expire news under the sn system.
SYNOPSIS
snexpire [-v] [-exp] newsgroup [[-exp] newsgroup]...
DESCRIPTION
snexpire expires news in the sn news system, one article file (=10 articles, compile time default) at a time. snexpire always leaves
behind at least one article file, so that newly entered articles will have numbers not overlapping previously used numbers. As an excep-
tion if the expiration age is set to 0, then even this last file will be expired and subsequent article numbers will start from the begin-
ning. You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn to run snexpire.
OPTIONS -v Output a line for each article expired. The format of this line is the same as for snscan.
ARGUMENTS
snexpire expires all newsgroups named on the command line. Each newsgroup may be preceded by -exp to control the expiration age. exp is
of the form #[hdwmy] where # is a number, followed by one of the characters h,d,w,m,y representing hours, days, weeks, months and years.
The default for -exp is a compile-time fixed. Each [-exp] applies to the next newsgroup only, any newsgroups after that one get default
treatment unless overridden by another [-exp].
FILES MODIFIED
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.times, /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/[0123456789]*, /var/spool/sn/{.chain,.table}.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.
FILES
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.expire
If this exists, its contents are taken to be exp if not overridden by -exp on the command line.
