Hello, I’m trying to start mailman on startup with ElCapitan.
I tried a plist in LaunchDaemons - that was working in the past with the command: /usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s start
this produces now the error: Service only ran for 2 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 8 seconds
the error log says: The master qrunner lock could not be acquired because it appears as if another master qrunner is already running
So it starts, creates a lock as localhost … and then it tries to start again.
than I created a startup script as described here: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/...
and it does … nothing
the only thing which works currently is starting it manually with sudo and this is kind of inconvenient
I installed mailman manually without using macports or something like that.
I hope someone on the list can share some insight here.
Do you shutdown mailman cleanly?
mailman was not running before startup and for the test I made sure that there are no pid files present
If not, you leave a pid file behind, which will prevent mailman from starting.
the -s option should fix that problem ;-) but if mailman is started as local then -s doesn’t remove a stray pid file.
cheers Matthias
