Mailman has been started twice. At least the second start included the '-s' option to remove 'stale' locks as in bin/mailmanctl -s start See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.068.htp> for some more information on this. What happens is somehow your startup script is starting Mailman twice or being run twice. Exactly why is a FreeBSD question that I can't answer, but because of the '-s' option, the second start removes the locks that are intended to prevent this and overwrites the previous master's pid with its own. Thus, when you issue the mailmanctl stop, you only stop the second start and the first is still running. You could edit the Mailman start script and remove the '-s' option, and maybe the error that will then result from the second start attempt will help you find why it happens. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
