Removes messages from active status.
The rmm command removes messages from active status by renaming them. To rename a message, the system prefaces the current message number with a , (comma). Inactive files are unavailable to the Message Handler (MH) package. However, system commands can still manipulate inactive files.
Inactive messages should be deleted periodically. An entry can be placed in your crontab file to automatically delete all files beginning with a comma.
