Hmmm... apparently the qrunner is running - if I manually issue the mailmanct stop or -s start commands, it appears to work... I did verify these are correct in the startup script (see below) - but I also notice two things: it is dated from 2004, and it is issuing the command as 'su - mailman', but I am issuing the commands directly as root - so maybe this script didn't get updated properly? #!/sbin/runscript # Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-mail/mailman/files/mailman.rc,v 1.5 2004/07/14 23:50:52 agriffis Exp $ depend() { need net use logger } start() { ebegin "Starting mailman" su - mailman -c 'bin/mailmanctl -s start' >/dev/null 2>&1 eend $? } stop() { ebegin "Stopping mailman" su - mailman -c 'bin/mailmanctl stop' >/dev/null 2>&1 eend $? } svc_restart() { ebegin "Restarting mailman" su - mailman -c 'bin/mailmanctl restart' >/dev/null 2>&1 eend $? } Tia for any pointers and/or whacks with a clue-stick... -- Best regards, Charles ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
