from the Django settings the log is here:
Make sure that this directory is created or Django will fail on start. LOGGING['handlers']['file']['filename'] = '/opt/mailman/web/logs/mailmanweb.log'
but the only new entry in the log is from when I attempted to run the runjobs as the wrong user and the log entries for unable to connect to DB from when the uwsgi log filled the drive and the db process died, which is what originally alerted me to the issue.
