How to compile all addresses subbed to all lists on a system
Have any of you found an automated way to slurp all of the addresses off of all the lists on your system and then subscribe them to another list on the system? I know that I could simply subscribe all of the lists to a master list, but that option has turned into a nightmare for us for a variety of reasons.
Thanks for any help!

Repeat for every list on your system. Really easy.

It is list_members, not list_users. Also, I would recommend using the -n and -d options with list_members to get digested and non-digested members seperately, and then adding them seperately.
It would be really nice to have a version of list_members which dumped all user properties (nomail, digest, passwd, etc) and a corresponding version of add_members that parsed it. This would be useful when copying lists between servers.

For me, the digest/non-digest part is not important. What I've got is a system announcement list that notifies all users/members when something they need to know about is going to happen. Has anybody automated this process? I want it to update everyday and I don't want to sit there and hand type the entire process for 100 lists each time ....

Cron is your friend. Worst case you need to update the script when you add/remove a list.

How about bin/list_lists ?

Here's the solution I came up with. Much easier then doing it for each individual list. In my case, it's set as a cron job to run in the middle of the night every night. Note: de-announce is the name of the master list I'm using -- replace it with the list of your choice.
#!/bin/ksh
/home/mailman/bin/remove_members -a de-announce
cd /home/mailman/lists/
for i in ls
do echo $i
touch /home/mailman/tmp/masterlist.txt
/home/mailman/bin/list_members -o /home/mailman/tmp/masterlist.txt $i
/home/mailman/bin/add_members -n /home/mailman/tmp/masterlist.txt -w n de-announce
rm /home/mailman/tmp/masterlist.txt
done
