Running Debian 4.19.316-1 Python 3.7.3
I am unable to start mailman core

Error: A previous run of GNU Mailman did not exit cleanly (stale_lock). Try using --force mailman@lists:~$
I try using --force and it did not work. So how do I start it?
In Mailman's var/locks directory (maybe /opt/mailman/mm/var/locks/) you will see at least two files. The ones of interest are:
master.lck
master.lck|<host_name>|<pid>|<random_integer>
First verify that pid is not running or if it is, that it's not
Mailman's master process. Then remove all the files from the
var/locks/ directory and Mailman should start.
Bottom line: I would like for Mailman core to start when I reboot the server. How can this be achieved please?
