Hi, Because its related to the same event....
"config.pck", because I didnt know that...... I think sometimes developers/coders dont realise lesser mortals cant code to their standards, and in my case virtually not at all... regards Steven Jones ________________________________________ From: Mark Sapiro [m...@msapiro.net] Sent: Friday, 19 August 2011 12:40 p.m. To: Steven Jones; mailman-users@python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Looking for lists with no members.

I don't know why this is a reply to my reply in the "Resetting bounce scores globally" thread, and did you resolve that? Anyway, there are various ways you could accomplish this. You could create a shell script along the lines of #!/bin/sh for list in `bin/list_lists --bare` do if ! (bin/list_members $list | grep @ > /dev/null); then echo $list: no members fi done Or you could create a withlist script like def find_empty(mlist): if len(mlist.getMembers()) == 0: print "%s has no members" % mlist.real_name save it as bin/find_empty.py and run bin/withlist -a -r find_empty >After that is there a way to extract all the subscribers off the old lists >server and inject them back into the new lists on the new lists server? Why not just copy the lists/LISTNAME/config.pck from the old server to the new. Or if for some reason you don't want to do that, you could copy it to lists/dummy_list/config.pck on the new server and then run bin/list_members dummy_list with the desired list_members options. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
