NAME
TrimNews
SYNOPSIS
TrimNews
DESCRIPTION
TRIMNEWS deletes news files that are older than N days, where N
is specifiable on a per-newsgroup basis. The UULIB:NewsGroups
containing acceptable news groups has a second field which optionally
specifies the number of days old a message is allowed to get before
it is deleted. Example:
comp.sys.amiga.tech 10
If the number is not specified, 7 is assumed. If the number is 0,
then no messages in that newsgroup will ever be deleted by TrimNews.
TRIMNEWS is normally run nightly from your crontab. The sample crontab
has an entry for TRIMNEWS.
The creation date of the news file is used to determine whether to
delete it or not.
