Whatever the answer is, we'd like to be able to generate the
lists of lists once a day; I tried running:

chroot /opt/http /opt/bin/python
/opt/pkgs/mailman/scripts/driver listinfo

but get this traceback:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
[----- Mailman Version: &lt;undetermined&gt; -----]
[----- Traceback ------]
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/opt/pkgs/mailman/scripts/driver", line 135, in
print_traceback
    from Mailman.mm_cfg import VERSION
ImportError: No module named Mailman.mm_cfg

<head><title>Bug in Mailman version
&lt;undetermined&gt;</title></head>
<body><h2>Bug in Mailman version &lt;undetermined&gt;</h2>
<p><h3>We're sorry, we hit a bug!</h3>

Looks like a I'm missing something fundamental here. I assume
that the output from this command would be html commands that
could be redirected to a file. Thank you!
