First, thanks to Mark Sapiro for the great reply on Multiple List Pending Requests.

I host with jumpline.com, which generally does a good job with me. The Mailman installation is pretty good, but for some reason I can't track down, Mailman keeps going belly-up. Jumpline customer support doesn't know why. I have to stop it to turn off whatever qrunners are running and restart it. I don't mind doing that now and then. It doesn't happen that often.

Here's the problem. My users don't think to tell me when they haven't had any mail from the list for awhile. I just go along thinking all is well until someone tells me, "Hey, Rex. We haven't had any email from the list for a week." I restart and old email mostly catches up.

I have an administrative page for all of my web sites and the various things they do. I am on that page several times each day. I would like to generate some message when Mailman isn't working, something I would see there. A lot of the command line scripts seem to work even if Mailman is not running. What can I use to check to see if it is alive?

Rex
