1 Hi all! So I recently did the mailman upgrade thing, and if you aren't
2 aware, the mailman files were moved from /usr/local/mailman to
3 /var/lib/mailman and probably other places too. A real pain to fix. I
4 have mailman working again, but now I'm getting lots and lots of e-mails
5 sent to root that say

16 /usr/bin/python: can't open file '/usr/local/mailman/cron/gate_news':
17 [Errno 2] No such file or directory
18
19 Now, /usr/local/mailman doesn't exist anymore, but I can't figure out
20 what process is trying to execute /usr/bin/python -S
21 /usr/local/mailman/cron/gate_news. crontab -u mailman -l doesn't show
22 any such entry, and I don't see it in any of the /etc/cron.* folders.
23 How can I find out why this command is executed (and frequently so!)?
