If you run your expiration with the option "quiet=no", then when it terminates (or anytime while it's running), do a "q actlog". With quiet=no, expiration reports it's progress in the actlog. You can see what nodes it has processed.

I looked in the log, expiration is not completing on it's own, it's being stopped at the end of two hours. There has to be some way to see how far expiration has gotten to. There has to be some internal way in which expiration keeps track of where it left off, it doesn't always just start over does it? 2. Still reading through the PDF on DRM.
