snexpire,v0.3.8(8) System Manager's Manual snexpire,v0.3.8(8)NAMEsnexpire - expire news under the sn system.SYNOPSISsnexpire [-v] [-exp] newsgroup [[-exp] newsgroup]...DESCRIPTIONsnexpire 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.ARGUMENTSsnexpire 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 VARIABLESSNROOT 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.
