Hi I am new to listserv & have what is probably a basic question: When you make changes to a list header via the web admin screen you hit the "update" button and listserv goes away and does some background checks/updating. If there a way to programmatically induce this? To elaborate, I am writing a Perl script to deal with renaming a list. For example, if the list had a web interface, you would create a sub-directory for the new listname under the \www\lists directory. Then, go into the web admin & configuration & update the header. Listserv then creates the html page, followed by the index files. wa.exe is obviously called to perform the update, but is there a command string that you can use to do it, rather than actually submitting a form on a web page? Executing it this way would mean no established session id - would this be a problem? Thanks -- Spencer Warhurst JISCmail Administrator
