Mailman is not a service on your server if you don't install it either from source or a package. Your /etc/init.d/mailmnan script was installed by your Mailman package. It wasn't there before you installed the package. The source distribution also includes an init.d script at scripts/mailman and instructions for installing it are in comments at its beginning and in the installation manual at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node42.html>, so you can see, we definitely support 'service' scripts. > Considering this 'packagers related' stuff as not important and > insisting on 'native' way to use cron has less sense for me than the > opposite.

The only thing I'm calling 'packagers related' is the specific content of the init.d script, not the concept. > May be this attitude has some influence on that fact that there is so > old version of Mailman in last Centos release?... You would have to as Red Hat about that? I don't see what "attitude" you are talking about here that would affect the version that Red Hat and hence CentOS chooses to include in a particular distro. Do we have a communication disconnect of some kind here? -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
