What does "periodically" mean? Once every five minutes? Do you really
need real time data?

If you followed the installation instructions carefully, you created a
dedicated user who owns Mailman files and directories and can execute
the command cited above. Simply execute the command as this user,
write the output to a defined location and then have your PHP script
read that file and display it.

Judging from the error message above, you are running MacOS X which
supports the traditional Unix "cron" daemon as well as a new service
called "launchd". You can use both of them to create the required
output periodically.

If you did not create a dedicated user for Mailman during
installation then I'm out of ideas.
