Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Dave Yost (daveyost) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Need admin alerts Initial Comment: I just noticed that for some reason none of our mailing lists have been archived for a while. Yikes. It would be good if mailman by default would notify admins if anything goes wrong with archiving. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim Popovitch (jimpop) Date: 2007-03-16 13:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3142 Originator: NO Look into running mmdsr from a crontab each night. Brad wrote this script that gives you a daily email of Mailman status (it stands for MM Daily Status Report, IIRC). It greps your Mailman log files and queue dirs and produces a very valuable system report. I highly recommend using this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2007-01-12 23:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO I am moving this to feature requests because that's what it is. As far as your issue of not archiving is concerned, it seems that perhaps ArchRunner is/was not running. If this is the case, addressing the issuue that caused it to die and restarting it will probably archive all the unprocessed messages in the archive/ queue. OTOH, possible there is some issue causing the messages to be shunted. In this case, fixing the underlying issue and running bin/unshunt should archive the messages. It would be very unusual if the messages were completely lost. Regarding your feature request, look at the "Daily status report script" (mmdsr) <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1123383&group_id=103&atid=300103> and in Mailman's contrib/ directory since 2.1.7. It's not a 'default' but it does a good job of reporting things that go wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1634521&group_id=103
