This might be a dumb question, but I haven't found the answer yet.  

For a bi-weekly retention on a dataset, networker appears to want 2 full cycles 
on tape, which makes sense.  It also seems to call nsrck (I believe) at some 
interval to check if there are 2+ cycles, remove anything older than 2, and 
mark tapes as recycled.  (Not sure if this is all with nsrck)

The problem I'm running into is that I can't figure out the frequency with 
which this happens.  I have some tapes that should have been expired nearly a 
week ago, but are not because the oldest cycle isn't being removed in a timely 
manner.  Is there a manual way to do this, other than clicking through the 
interface and selecting remove oldest?  

Thanks,
Dylan
