Definitely so. Apparently systemd expected to find a set > of files matching the glob "mailman-*.timer" somewhere, and they > weren't there.

S apparently Red Hat is using this functionality to run some or all of Mailman's periodic jobs. You post [root@vuwunicomailmp1 system]# pwd /usr/lib/systemd/system [root@vuwunicomailmp1 system]# for X in mailman-*.timer ; do systemctl enable $X && systemctl start $X ; done Invalid unit name "mailman-*.timer" was escaped as "mailman-\x2a.timer" (maybe you should use systemd-escape?) Failed to enable unit: Unit file mailman-\x2a.timer does not exist. [root@vuwunicomailmp1 system]# The crux is for X in mailman-*.timer ; do systemctl enable $X && systemctl start $X ; done This is trying to find all the mailman-*.timer files in /usr/lib/systemd/system and enable and start them, but there are apparently no matching files so the shell just passes the literal "mailman-*.timer" as X and systemctl enable $X complains. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
