[Mailman-Users] Command line moderation?

Is there a way to:

1. Approve a message to a moderated mailman list from the
   command line, when logged into the machine on which mailman
   is installed?

2. Get a list of the subscribers (who password listname-request)
   from the command line, when logged into the machine on which
   mailman is installed? (i.e., what is the file name and path
   of the subscriber file?)

This functionality would be useful in the following scenario:

You have a time-sensitive posting.
You are the list owner. You have access to the machine with
Mailman. But:

a) The webserver is down, and the person who can restart it is
unavailable.

b) The webserver has been restarted, but they forgot something,
and all the mailman webpages are still inaccessible, and the
person(s) who can fix it is unavailable.

c) Mailman also doesn't respond to e-mail commands.
