This is not the same issue as Bryan and I have. The log entries you have posted indicate that you are trying to start Mailman twice (the issue Bryan and I have is Mailman dying with the "stray process" message). Perhaps you have two different launchd scripts that try to to start Mailman. Launchd looks in both /System/Library/LaunchDaemons and /Library/LaunchDaemons. The former is supposed to be for Apple provided scripts with the latter for user/3rd party application scripts. My "mailman.plist" is in /Library/LaunchDaemons but you should check both and grep for mailmanctl. -- Larry Stone lston...@stonejongleux.com http://www.stonejongleux.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 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://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
