10 Start the Mailman qrunner</a>
55
Mailman depends on a process called the ``qrunner'' to delivery all
56
email messages it sees. You must start the qrunner by executing the following
57
command from the <var>$prefix</var> directory:
60
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
61
% bin/mailmanctl start
65
You probably want to start Mailman every time you reboot your system. Exactly
66
how to do this depends on your operating system. If your OS supports the
67
<b class="program">chkconfig</b> command (e.g. RedHat and Mandrake Linuxes) you can
68
do the following (as root, from the Mailman install directory):
71
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
72
% cp scripts/mailman /etc/init.d/mailman
73
% chkconfig --add mailman
77
Note that <span class="file">/etc/init.d</span> may be <span class="file">/etc/rc.d/init.d</span> on some systems.
80
On Gentoo Linux, you can do the following:
83
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
84
% cp scripts/mailman /etc/init.d/mailman
85
% rc-update add mailman default
89
On Debian, you probably want to use:
92
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
93
% update-rc.d mailman defaults
97
For <span class="Unix">Unix</span>es that don't support <b class="program">chkconfig</b>, you might try the
98
following set of commands:
101
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
102
% cp scripts/mailman /etc/init.d/mailman
103
% cp misc/mailman /etc/init.d
105
% ln -s ../init.d/mailman K12mailman
107
% ln -s ../init.d/mailman K12mailman
109
% ln -s ../init.d/mailman S98mailman
111
% ln -s ../init.d/mailman S98mailman
113
% ln -s ../init.d/mailman S98mailman
115
% ln -s ../init.d/mailman S98mailman
