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
