[Mailman-Users] send digest command

[Jon Carnes]

POC!  Copy the file ~mailman/cron/senddigests to
~mailman/cron/send<listname>digest
Next, edit the new file so that it only runs the digest for <listname>
  (get rid of the first "for" statement and in the second statement, change
'listname' to '"<listname>"')

I think that should work.  If not play with it a bit on a test list.  It
shouldn't take more than an hour to get it working the way you want.

Now when you want to send a digest for that specific list run:
  /usr/local/bin/python -S /home/mailman/cron/send<listname>digest

Hope this helps,
   Jon Carnes
