Hoping that someone is intereresd in changing some settings of a list via
command line, I post this micro-HOWTO.
I wish to thank Tjalling Kikkert for his help in solving this issue.
FILE xmf.py (put it in Mailman/bin)
import sys
import string
def xmf(mlist):
fp = open( '/tmp/zz' )
newfooter = fp.read()
fp.close()
mlist.msg_footer = newfooter
mlist.Save()
This file reads the content of /tmp/zz and store it in the footer of a
list. I tried to read the stdin, but the system added some nasty characters
and I didn't want to filter them out.
To change the footer you must create the /tmp/zz file, and then issue the
command
/home/mailman/bin/withlist -l -r xmf [maillistname]
For the amusement of my friends, I have cron-ed each hour this command:
echo "-- " > /tmp/zz
/usr/games/fortune >> /tmp/zz
/home/mailman/bin/withlist -l -r xmf x-[mylistname]
rm -f /tmp/zz
Hope it helps.
Ciao,
luigi
