[Mailman-Users] Checking for Heartbeat

[Rex Goode]

First, thanks to Mark Sapiro for the great reply on Multiple List 
Pending Requests.


I host with jumpline.com, which generally does a good job with me. The 
Mailman installation is pretty good, but for some reason I can't track 
down, Mailman keeps going belly-up. Jumpline customer support doesn't 
know why. I have to stop it to turn off whatever qrunners are running 
and restart it. I don't mind doing that now and then. It doesn't happen 
that often.


Here's the problem. My users don't think to tell me when they haven't 
had any mail from the list for awhile. I just go along thinking all is 
well until someone tells me, "Hey, Rex. We haven't had any email from 
the list for a week." I restart and old email mostly catches up.


I have an administrative page for all of my web sites and the various 
things they do. I am on that page several times each day. I would like 
to generate some message when Mailman isn't working, something I would 
see there. A lot of the command line scripts seem to work even if 
Mailman is not running. What can I use to check to see if it is alive?

[Mailman-Users] Multiple List Pending Requests

[Rex Goode]

Hello, everyone. I'm new here.

I operate several Mailman lists. I have lots of questions, but will 
start with the most pressing one.


It is cumbersome, with so many lists, to go in to each list's page of 
pending administrative requests to see what is waiting for me to act upon.


I just discovered withlist this morning. I think I can handle my shell 
for iterating through all of my lists.


Is there some way, possibly with withlist, for me to get a list of 
pending requests for a list. I don't need a lot of information about 
them. Maybe even just a number of pending requests. The results of the 
query on all lists would go to me in an email.


My users are getting annoyed when I get around to looking at their held 
messages and releasing them two weeks after they sent them. Maybe I'm 
just irresponsible, but it seems I should be able to know which lists 
have pending requests with just one click/cron/something.
