[Mailman-Developers] Re: Digests and Cron and Signals

[Greg Stein]

Harald's signal patch worked on my system. No more annoying reports from
Cron about "No such process".

Thanx, Harald!

For my particular test, I added the two lines to cron/senddigests. I
would recommend that the next Mailman release include the two lines in
each of cron/*.

thx,
