Command: maintenance

  Format: maintenance

Performs a complete set of list maintenance functions.  The following work
is done when this command is invoked:

- all digests are checked to see if a list's digest frequency setting
  dictates that it's time to send the digest
- archives are rotated
- list files are updated, synchronizing the mail system's list data with
  listmanager's databases

Executing this command causes the currently-selected list (if any) to be
closed and deselected.

This is not normally invoked from the command line, but is instead run by
a regular UNIX process such as cron(8).

This command is only available from the shell, i.e. you must be able to log
in to the machine which hosts mailing lists and access the "listmanager"
program from the command line.
