The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Joe Meslovich <address@concealed>]

We run Sympa on Rocky Linux 9 and there is just a systemd service for archiving, and I don't recall ever having to do anything specifically to add or enable it.  

[root@lists01 srv-joe]# systemctl status sympa-archive.service

Did you install from a pre-built package or did you install by some other means?

Subject: [en@sympa] Questions about daemons

 

Hello,

I have the following question: I have noticed that no archives are being created, even though archiving is enabled in the web interface.

After some searching, I discovered that the archived.pl daemon is not running. Once I started it from the command line, an archive was created.

This leads me to the question: why was it not running? What is the concept behind starting it? I haven't read anything about it. Do I need to create a unit in systemd myself?

And what about the other daemons: bounced, bulk, sympa_automatic, sympa_msg, and task_manager?

Best regards
Ralph
