If Mailman is actually not running, you have a stale lock. After verifying that Mailman is not running, remove the master-qrunner* files from Mailman's locks/ directory. Notes: 1) It looks like you're running home# service mailman start as root (# prompt). I can't imagine why os.kill(pid, 0) is not permitted ??? 2) It appears the /etc/init.d/mailman (or wherever it is) script doesn't have the -s option on its mailmanctl start command. This is both good and bad. The good side is it prevents starting a second Mailman instance when Mailman is running. The bad side is it won't clean stale locks. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan
