[Mailman-Developers] Mailman 3 not restarting after reboot

[Mark Sapiro]

I have encountered a strange issue on both lists.mailman3.org and
mail.python.org. Namely, Mailman3 is not started upon reboot.

If I reboot the server Mailman 3 is shut down normally but is never
started when the server comes up. A typical mailman.log excerpt is

> Sep 02 10:12:06 2017 (20345) nntp runner caught SIGTERM.  Stopping.
> Sep 02 10:12:06 2017 (20345) %s runner exiting.
> Sep 02 10:12:06 2017 (20342) command runner caught SIGTERM.  Stopping.
> Sep 02 10:12:06 2017 (20342) %s runner exiting.
> Sep 02 10:12:07 2017 (20348) %s runner exiting.
> Sep 02 10:12:07 2017 (20318) Master stopped
> Sep 02 10:21:24 2017 (17278) Master started
> Sep 02 10:21:29 2017 (17306) %s runner started.
> Sep 02 10:21:29 2017 (17301) %s runner started.
> Sep 02 10:21:29 2017 (17311) %s runner started.
> Sep 02 10:21:29 2017 (17299) %s runner started.

(the '%s' should be fixed by
https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/merge_requests/311). The entries from
10:12:07 are the normal shutdown from the reboot. The very next thing is
at 10:21:24 when I manually did 'service mailman start'. The
/etc/init.d/mailman3 script is attached as mailman.txt. This has not
changed recently. The only thing that has changed is the
/etc/init.d/qcluster script (attached as qcluster.txt). This existed
before, but was changed to use start-stop-daemon and to add a 'stop'
function.

I also did 'update-rc.d qcluster defaults' to create the rc*.d entries
for qcluster which I had neglected to do before. The entries for
mailman3 are there (unchanged in over a year).

Does anyone have an idea why Mailman 3 is not starting on reboot?
