As Brad says, we don't. Here is an example of the init.d/mailman script that we distribute after 'configure'. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # # mailman This shell script starts and stops GNU Mailman. # # Copyright (C) 2001-2003 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or # modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License # as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 # of the License, or (at your option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Your's also does su - mailman which is not needed (except for setting the current directory to mailman's home for the relative paths) as mailmanctl is designed to be run by root. There are other differences, but I don't see why yours won't start mailman if the essentially identical mailmanctl command typed by hand will. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
