I need to generate a monthly report on all my mailing lists that includes each list's name, description, admin, and members. I have come up with a bash script using some Python scripts for Mailman that generates most of the reporting but could not find a script or a way to extract a list's description.
Mailman's bin/list_lists produces a list of all the installations list names and descriptions.
Any hint/help for pointing out how to extract the description of any list via a bash script will be very much appreciated.
#!/bin/bash # assume $1 is the list name /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_lists | grep -i " $1 " |\ sed -r "s/\s*\S+ - //"
