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?

The process that does this is nsrim. There is no harm in running this manually if you wish.
