The cron jobs are in Mailman's cron/ directory. The standard ones are bumpdigests, checkdbs, cull_bad_shunt, disabled, gate_news, mailpasswds, nightly_gzip and senddigests. You can run any of them with a '--help' option for more info. bumpdigests is normally not run as it's function is handled automatically. I also recommend not running nightly_gzip as it just makes/updates the archive *.txt.gz files which are unnecessary, but if you stop running it, you should also remove all the archives/private/*/*.txt.gz files (but not the archives/private/*/*.txt files). There is a crontab.in file in the cron/ directory which is the suggested crontab, but the actual crontab may be in /var/spool/cron/mailman, /var/spool/cron/crontabs/mailman, /etc/cron.d/mailman or elsewhere depending on the OS and how Mailman was installed. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
