DESCRIPTION

The rmm command is used to remove messages from active status.  rmm is part of
the Message Handling (MH) package and can be used with other MH and AIX
commands.

The rmm command renames the specified message files so that their file names
have preceding commas.  You can use these files as temporary backups and
arrange for the cron command to delete your backups periodically.

FLAGS

                several messages, a range of messages, or a single message.
                You can use the following message references when specifying
                msgs:
