[Bug 869317] [NEW] Mailman startup script missing --force option.

[Stephen A. Goss]

Public bug reported:

I rebooted the VM that mailman was running on, when I tried to start
mailman up after the reboot, i got this output:

    $ mailman -C /etc/mailman.cfg start
    usage: mailman [-h] [-v] [-C CONFIG]
    {info,status,help,withlist,start,unshunt,create,stop,remove,lists,reopen,version,import21,inject,members,qfile,restart,aliases}
                   ...
    mailman: error: A previous run of GNU Mailman did not exit cleanly.  Try using --force.

Running with the --force option didn't work:

    $ mailman --force -C /etc/mailman.cfg start
    usage: mailman [-h] [-v] [-C CONFIG]

    {info,status,help,withlist,start,unshunt,create,stop,remove,lists,reopen,version,import21,inject,members,qfile,restart,aliases}
                   ...
    mailman: error: unrecognized arguments: --force
