Syntax

Description

• Inform the requestor of send/receive requests for systems that cannot be reached.

• Return mail, which cannot be delivered, to the sender.

• Delete or execute rnews for rnews-type files (depending on where the news originated, locally or remotely).

• Remove all other files.

The following options are available.

-Ctime

Any C. files greater than or equal to time days old will be removed with appropriate information to the requestor. (default 7 days)

-Dtime

Any D. files greater than or equal to time days old will be removed. An attempt will be made to deliver mail messages and execute rnews when appropriate. (default 7 days)

-Wtime

Any C. files equal to time days old will cause a mail message to be sent to the requestor warning about the delay in contacting the remote system. The message includes the JOBID, and in the case of mail, the mail message. The administrator may include a message line telling whom to call to check the problem (-m option). (default 1 day)

-Xtime

Any X. files greater than or equal to time days old will be removed. The D. files are probably not present (if they were, the X. could get executed). But if there are D. files, they will be taken care of by D. processing. (default 2 days)

-mstring

This line will be included in the warning message generated by the -W option. The default line is ``See your local administrator to locate the problem.''

-otime

Other files whose age is more than time days will be deleted. (default 2 days)

-ssystem

Execute for system spool directory only.

-xdebug_level

The -x debug level is a single digit between 0 and 9; higher numbers give more detailed debugging information.
