Hello - We upgraded to *2.1.14* not too long ago and made the discovery that when a new list is created, the *lines that used to get written automatically into the aliases file are no longer automatically written,* instead they are displayed on the screen with the instructions to cut and paste them in. (This change may have occurred long ago as far as we know; our previous version was *2.1.9*)
This would not be much of a bother if we only had to make a new list occasionally, but we make lists for all our courses at the beginning of each semester, and to do this *we have a perl script that automatically generates over 500 lists in batch mode*. The same problem occurs when we remove the previous semester's lists... their entries are not automatically removed from the aliases file, and removing them by hand is not a trivial task. We could just leave them in, but *whenever a new course is the same as one that's already in the aliases file, it will error out and crash the script that builds the new lists. * *Is there any fix for this?* I would like to create the course lists for spring semester, but I am feeling daunted by the task of doing all the aliases part of it by hand.
