1. Enter bms at a shell prompt. You'll get a list like this:

 REGISTRATION some.dead.site ALIAS=zombie   STAT=123:REG-REMOTE to=13d
 REGISTRATION norwegian.blue ALIAS=xparrot  STAT=234:REG-REMOTE to=13d

2. Enter the "STAT" numbers of the dead sites as arguments to "dequeue"

 bms dequeue 123
 bms dequeue 234	; (message meaningless in this context)
 bms help		; for a short command summary
