Tools how to find pine messages
still touching on the basics here:

first of all where are my received messages stored in pine?

/var/spool/mymail

is not it.

i guess i cant start my script without knowing this. because i need to move those files into a seperate folder and so on and so forth.

I can prolly do a grep or egrep to identify messages from a certain person. Like grep "^From: Bill Gates | nl" and then ofcouse putting the new lines back.

But after countless attempts its still not working. Experiencing program hang from executing the script.


Hints are apprecaited

snexpire

snexpire,v0.3.8(8)					      System Manager's Manual						snexpire,v0.3.8(8)

NAME

       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.
