I run nightly cron jobs to fix/update various Mailman lists. I don't know Python, so I write Perl scripts that call the Python scripts in /usr/local/mailman/bin/
This works OK, but I'd really like to run these Perl scripts whenever a list is changed, not just once a day. In other words, I'd like Mailman 'triggers'. Examples: "whenever list foo's membership changes, run foo-member-change.pl" "whenever list bar's config changes, run bar-config-change.pl" "whenver anything changes on any list, run list-cleanup.pl" Can Mailman do that? If not, I'd like to request it as a feature. I realize I can have a daemon watch the config.pck timestamps, but that seems ugly. -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology. We feel that resistance to new ideas and technology is unwise and ultimately futile. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
