Mailman comes with a number of scripts that are typically only run by cron.

executable on them, like so:
% cd /home/mailman
% python -S cron/senddigests

inhibits Python's implicit import site on initialization. Not all of these
scripts support the --help option. Here is a brief description of what the
cron scripts do:
