Command: update Format: update Performs an update of the list that is passed to the mail system for the database of the selected list. This means that anyone that has subscribed since the last update will be added to the mail system's table, and anyone that has unsubscribed from the list since the last update will be removed. 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. The function of this command is executed automatically by listmanager during the end of operations from the mail interface, so there is no need for the command to be available via mail.
