Hi
I've got a partially working Savane installation set up now, and I'm
just finishing up mailing list integration with Mailman.
It seems that when a list is created, the script sv_mailman is executed
at regular intervals by cron to actually create the list. A look at the
provided etc/crontab entry shows:
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:
This should correctly find my Mailman executables, symlinked into
/usr/local/bin. However the script sv_mailman (and I guess maybe several
others) are using hard-coded paths to /usr/sbin/newlist etc. in order to
execute the Mailman commands. This fails for obvious reasons, but
doesn't even log as a failure in the script. (it took a while to find
the cause because of this)
Is there any need for the paths to be hard-coded, given the environment
is set correctly in the crontab? Even basic assumptions like
/usr/bin/mail fail, because RHEL 3.0 only has /bin/mail.
