10 Start the Mailman qrunner</A>
</H1>

<P>
Mailman depends on a process called the ``qrunner'' to delivery all
email messages it sees.  You must start the qrunner by executing the following
command from the <var>$prefix</var> directory:

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
    % bin/mailmanctl start
</pre></div>

<P>
You probably want to start Mailman every time you reboot your system.  Exactly
how to do this depends on your operating system.  If your OS supports the
<b class="program">chkconfig</b> command (e.g. RedHat and Mandrake Linuxes) you can
do the following (as root, from the Mailman install directory):

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
    % cp scripts/mailman /etc/init.d/mailman
    % chkconfig --add mailman
</pre></div>

<P>
Note that <span class="file">/etc/init.d</span> may be <span class="file">/etc/rc.d/init.d</span> on some systems.

<P>
On Gentoo Linux, you can do the following:

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
    % cp scripts/mailman /etc/init.d/mailman
    % rc-update add mailman default
</pre></div>

<P>
On Debian, you probably want to use:

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
    % update-rc.d mailman defaults
</pre></div>

<P>
For <span class="Unix">Unix</span>es that don't support <b class="program">chkconfig</b>, you might try the
following set of commands:

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
    % cp scripts/mailman /etc/init.d/mailman
    % cp misc/mailman /etc/init.d
    % cd /etc/rc.d/rc0.d
    % ln -s ../init.d/mailman K12mailman
    % cd ../rc1.d
    % ln -s ../init.d/mailman K12mailman
    % cd ../rc2.d
    % ln -s ../init.d/mailman S98mailman
    % cd ../rc3.d
    % ln -s ../init.d/mailman S98mailman
    % cd ../rc4.d
    % ln -s ../init.d/mailman S98mailman
    % cd ../rc5.d
    % ln -s ../init.d/mailman S98mailman
    % cd ../rc6.d
    % ln -s ../init.d/mailman K12mailman
