[news.software.b] Need help in running expire

ehrlich@psuvax1.psu.edu (Dan Ehrlich) (08/06/87)

In an attempt to keep our spool disk from overflowing I have been trying
to expire some news groups faster than others.  Below are the expire
commands that I am trying to run nightly.  Checking in /usr/spool/rec/humor
I discovered files that are more than 3 weeks old!  The only thing that may
be incorrect is the use of both "-i" and "-I", but the man page for expire
is not clear on this point.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

expire -v 3 -p -i -I -e 3 -E 14 -n junk.all
expire -v 3 -p -i -I -e 5 -E 14 -n rec.all,soc.all,talk.all,misc.all
expire -v 3 -p -i -I -e 14 -E 28 -n all,!rec.all,!soc.all,!talk.all,!misc.all,!junk.all
