Yea you are right. The lock files contained the files with (pid). After I clean the ~mailman/lock directory and kill the process/s I get: ********************************************************************************* apache 802 0.5 2.1 4344 2752 ? S 08:46 0:00 /usr/bin/python -S /home/mailman/scripts/driver admin ********************************************************************************* in my processes after I try to access the /members portion of the list in question.
What is qrunner.lock this is also appearing in the ~mailman/lock directory. Thanks for any help.
