It might be helpful to know how it fails. However, LCMD on unix simply drops a .job file into LISTSERV's spool containing the command, and LISTSERV picks it up as if it had been emailed. But it writes it from the user's logged-in address with the hostname of the machine it's coming from, so if the user is logged into LISTSERV.SOMEUNI.EDU as "someuser", the command will come from [log in to unmask] If they're listed in the Owner= setting for their list as [log in to unmask], the command will fail because [log in to unmask] isn't a list owner. This can be worked around by making [log in to unmask] a quiet owner of the list. That would be my first thought as to why she's having trouble. > -----Original Message----- > From: LISTSERV site administrators' forum [mailto:LSTSRV- > [log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Peter Tamuzza > Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2012 12:45 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: lcmd command > > Question - please forgive my low-level knowledge of listserv - Just a part > time admin.
