The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Ralph Ballier <address@concealed>]

Hi Toag,

I used systemd and proceeded exactly as described in the manual and as 
you have described here in the mail.

Unfortunately no success.

Once again my question: Do I have to see a process with the name 
“wwsympa.fcgi” with “ps ax”?

Best regards,
Ralph
