It's not a script. It's C code, you have to compile it into an executable, ie, with cc -o lcmdx lcmdx.c (this assumes that you have a compiler such as gcc installed on your machine). Once compiled, the syntax is Syntax: lcmdx hostname[:port] address password command where hostname = the LISTSERV hostname port = the TCPGUI port number (default 2306; if you have not changed it, you can ignore this parameter) address = your postmaster address password = the personal LISTSERV password associated with your postmaster address command = the LISTSERV command you wish to issue. If you are administering the unix server from a Windows machine, there is a precompiled Windows version at ftp://ftp.lsoft.com/CONTRIB/lcmdx-intel.exe .
