You could consider running mailmanctl with the -h/--help option to get
the usage printed without logging an error. The Mailman command line
scripts are all fairly consistent in having the -h/--help option.

Hi,
I don't run mailmanctl very often. Since I don't remember its options,
I often start by running "mailmanctl" (with no arguments). When I do
so, it's nice enough to print the usage message to stderr. However,
I've also noticed that a timestamped copy of the usage message appears
in .../mailman/logs/error as well as message "No command given." (also
with a timestamp).
I took a look at the code and changed the behavior. Here's my patch:
--- mailmanctl~ 2004-05-20 16:27:29.000000000 -0400
+++ mailmanctl 2004-08-14 15:24:00.966478400 -0400

if msg:

I don't know that this is the _best_ way to handle this. If there's a
better way, let me know :-)
Regards,
David
