Harald's signal patch worked on my system. No more annoying reports from Cron about "No such process".
Thanx, Harald!
For my particular test, I added the two lines to cron/senddigests. I would recommend that the next Mailman release include the two lines in each of cron/*.
thx, -g

I still receive the following message every day when the digests go out. They are going out successfully, but this message still gets delivered.
[snip of Cron Daemon traceback...] ----INCLUDED MESSAGE----
Actually, if you run MULTIPLE lists, then your mail is NOT being delivered. The traceback will occur on the FIRST mail list, preventing the rest from being delivered.
I run into this EVERY day with mine and I patched my installation to ignore the error so that digests can go out for all lists.
I put in a hack, though, to ignore it (similar to Barry's). I'm going to try Harald's signal patch (cool!) and report back on its success. If I stop getting my noon cron reports of failure, then we'll be golden.
Note: mine is occuring on a RedHat 5.1 system.
