I wait until things are slow, often a Friday afternoon, and do monthly
maintenance at one fell swoop.
 
I issue the STOP command, logon to Listserv and sendfile the logs to my id.
Will later use DIGEST EXEC & store them to tape, floppy, print out or wherever.
 
Then ERASE the files off whichever Listserv disk they are on.
Start Listserv
From my id, refresh all lists.
 
I have a little ditty which runs every 5 AM from my id just in case the
spool overflows or one of the list owners accidently locks his list.
Saves a dozen phone calls in the morning.  People get *really* upset if they
don't get a daily dose of mail around here.  (-:     Anyway, the exec
unlocks & refreshes every list.  Short version below.
------8<---------------8<-------------8<-----------------
/* runs at 5 AM to be sure LISTSERV is online */
/* ADDRESS COMMAND */
'TELL LISTSERV ONLINE'
'TELL LISTSERV UNLOCK  CONSLINK'
'TELL LISTSERV REFRESH CONSLINK'
EXIT
