[Mailman-Users] question about recurring gate_news command
I looked through the list archives and didn't see where this issue was resolved. My cron log show a recurring (every 5 minutes) entry like this: Aug 4 11:20:00 swiki CROND[21998]: (mailman) CMD (/usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/gate_news) Can someone suggest a fix? -- Christopher Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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

This is the program that runs every five minutes to gateway any news articles to/from selected newsgroups. Can someone suggest a fix?

Are you actually trying to update a news server? Because if you're not, you should probably turn off the mail-news gateway for your lists. I think it's obvious on the options page.

That won't stop the cron running every 5 minutes. The only way to do that is to edit Mailman's crontab. If you are not actually gating from a newsgroup to a list (and never plan to), you don't need to run cron/gate_news and you can comment it out in the crontab. Gating from a list to a newsgroup is triggered by the post and cron/gate_news is not involved. cron/gate_news polls the newsgroups accociated with lists that have gateway_to_mail set to Yes. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Re: [Mailman-Users] question about recurring gate_news command
Thanks to all. I was concerned because I hadn't seen so many log entries before from gate_news. Does this likely mean that a list was configured to run the mail-news gateway or has it been running like that all along? Anyway, I hadcommented out the entry in the crontab.in previously, but I didn't think to re-run the crontab command to update it. It seems to have stopped now.

One or more lists being configured to gatway from news to the list (gateway_to_mail = Yes) will affect whether or not gate_news does anything when it runs, but only the crontab affects if and how often it runs. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
