[Mailman-Developers] Mailman 3 not restarting after reboot [addendum]

[Mark Sapiro]

I'm beginning to develop some understanding of this. I think it is not
related to the changes for plugins, but rather is related to the use of
click and possibly something to do with run levels.

I have put logging in /opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/bin/mailman
to report the command that invoked it before it in turn invokes
mailman.bin.mailman.main(), and I put logging there to report the fact
that control got there.

The log looks like


Tue Sep  5 15:42:57 2017
['/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/bin/mailman', '-C',
'/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/deployment/mailman.cfg', 'stop']
Tue Sep  5 15:42:58 2017 mailman.py - main()
Tue Sep  5 15:43:08 2017
['/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/bin/mailman', '-C',
'/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/deployment/mailman.cfg', 'start', '--force']
Tue Sep  5 15:43:09 2017 mailman.py - main()
Tue Sep  5 15:47:16 2017
['/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/bin/mailman', '-C',
'/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/deployment/mailman.cfg', 'stop']
Tue Sep  5 15:48:13 2017
['/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/bin/mailman', '-C',
'/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/deployment/mailman.cfg', 'start', '--force']
Tue Sep  5 15:58:39 2017
['/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/venv-3.4/bin/mailman', '-C',
'/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/deployment/mailman.cfg', 'start', '--force']
Tue Sep  5 15:58:47 2017 mailman.py - main()


The 15:42:.. entries are from a manual stop. The 15:43:.. entries are
from a manual start. The 15:47:16 entry is the 'stop' from a reboot -
note no 'mailman.py - main()' here, and the 15:48:13 entry is the
'start' from the reboot - again no 'mailman.py - main()' here. Finally,
the 15:58:.., entries are from a manual start.

There are several 'click' decorators on the mailman.bin.mailman.main()
function, and I suspect something there is detecting the run level and
just quitting if a shutdown or startup is in progress.

I would like to try systemd instead, but both lists.mailman3.org and
mail.python.org are on Ubuntu 14.04 which doesn't support systemd.
