Mailman 2.1.1 installed from source on FreeBSD 4.6 (with the same
options as the port uses)
roland# /usr/local/mailman/bin/version
Using Mailman version: 2.1.1
roland# diff /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman.sh /usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl
roland#
[ from /usr/local/mailman/logs/ ]
roland# ../bin/mailmanctl -s
Primary start-up and shutdown script for Mailman's qrunner daemon.
[ snip rest of help output ]
However doing this:
roland# ../bin/mailmanctl stop
Shutting down Mailman's master qrunner
No child with pid: 69775
[Errno 3] No such process
Stale pid file removed.
roland# ../bin/mailmanctl start
Starting Mailman's master qrunner.
works.
This has happened twice as the result of a system crash (loss of power).
Any ideas on making mailman start after a crash even if there's a stale
pidfile?
