Not to be outdone, I came up with a one-liner that will add all subscribers of foo_* to the umbrella list foo_all: list_lists | awk '{ print $1 }' | grep -i ^foo_ | grep -iv foo_all | \ xargs -rl list_members | sync_members -f - -w=no foo_all One may involve files at any point during the transaction, of course (e.g., after the xargs and before the sync_members, perhaps involving sort and uniq as you did in your code). No matter how you write it, though, this seems like a bit of a kludge, insofar as the list admin has to maintain redundant data with cron jobs and so forth. I still think it would be a nice feature to be able to have Mailman do the work for me, not so much because I don't want to do the work, but because it can probably do it better than I. :) At any rate, thanks for the suggestion! - Shane ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
