I also use an EXPInterval of 0, otherwise, expiration runs at server
startup, and every EXPInterval after that.

IBM, it would be really cool if the expire inventory command had an option
that controlled how long the command will run, so that I do not have to
"q pr" and then make an admin schedule to cancel it some hours later, or
write a script that does that work...

expire inventory quiet=no runtime=5 rununits=hours
