Since you are redirecting the output to /tmp/out_external_archiver, did any errors show up related to permissions? Actually, looking at the command: /usr/bin/mhonarc -add -outdir /var/mhonarc/archives/%(listname)s -rcfile main.rc >> /tmp/out_external_archiver Where does stderr go? The '>>' will only catch stdout. You may want to add '2>&1' at the end of the command so stderr is captured with stdout. BTW, if your lists have significant traffic or will get large over time, I recommend separating the archiving from Mailman so it can be managed separately. Maybe use a approach advocated by mharc, <http://www.mhonarc.org/mharc/>. --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE MHONARC-USERS
