Ashley: No joy. Gory details follow. I agree, bad name for a list, however, better to learn that now while in test. Any other suggestions?

This removes (almost) all traces of a mailing list. By default, the lists archives are not removed, which is very handy for retiring old lists. Usage: rmlist [-a] [-h] listname Where: --archives -a remove the lists archives too --help -h print this help message and exit List does not exist: "dave\'s list" [mailman@hclxtstest01 bin]$ list_lists 2 matching mailing lists found: Dave's list - [no description available] Test - [no description available] [mailman@hclxtstest01 bin]$ >>> "Ashley M.

Have you tried encapsulating the name? rmlist -a "Dave's list" And if that fails, try escaping the apostrophe: rmlist -a "Dave\'s list" -- W | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
