It appears you have corrupt data in Mailman's locks/master-qrunner file. Assuming there are no mailman processes running at all, you can just 'rm locks/*' and that should avoid the problem. Note that a typical mailmanctl lock is a pair of files named master-qrunner and master-qrunner.<hostname>.<pid> each with contents /path/to/locks/master-qrunner.<hostname>.<pid>[EMAIL PROTECTED] locks] In your case, it appears that the lock files exist, but a numeric <pid> can't be parsed from the contents. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
