Postsuper isn't overflowing with options; perhaps a more flexible and simpler design would be to have -e expire and -E expire and release from hold (if it is held). The only con I see to this is "feature creep", which is minimal at this point. It only becomes an issue when postsuper starts getting more and more options. ...Marvin
