[Mailman-Developers] ~mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s start

[Fil]

(using Mailman 2.1a3)

What happens when the computer crashes then starts again? If the pidfile
stays there, mailctl start will fail. If we use mailmanctl -s start, it will
fail if the pidfile is not there... What we need is a start command that
does not fail, even if a pid file is already here. Or am I missing something?

Furthermore, it seems buggy on my installation:

# ~mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s start

Starting Mailman's master qrunner.
