Just link /usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman.sh Something like (adjust path as necessary): ln -s /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman.sh /usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl Do note, however, that if the system crashes, the stale lockfile may not get removed when it comes back up. You could put a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/00somename.sh that does something like (untested): #!/bin/sh # remove dead links case "$1" in start) test -f /usr/local/mailman/locks/master-qrunner && rm /usr/local/mailman/locks/master-qrunner ;; stop) ;; esac Running mailmanctl -s *should* fix stale lockfiles, but doesn't seem to work in my experience (see some past posts to the list as well). -- "Since when is skepticism un-American?
