Cannot see the cron jobs for Mailman 3 Installed
Hi,
I have setup the Mailman 3 on my RHEL 7.5 box and found it was workingfine. But I found that I am not getting daily summary notifications for which I learnt after browsing through different websites, there should be an entry of *checkdb* in the cron job list.
But I did not find any such nor I don't find any cron job updated after the installation of mailman 3.
So, please guide how to get those cron jobs of mailman 3 installed again without disturbing the already installed setup.
Thanks in advance.

checkdbs is a Mailman 2.1 job The equivalent Mailman 3 job is mailman notify
But I did not find any such nor I don't find any cron job updated after the installation of mailman 3.
See <https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-core.html#configuring-cron-jobs> and <https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#scheduled-tasks-required>
If you installed Mailman from a package and the cron's weren't installed, report this to the packager.

Thank you Mark Sapiro.
As per your suggestion, I have gone through the mentioned URLs and understood that the command "mailman notify" is responsible to send the periodic notifications to the owners of the list which of course should be as part of the cron job list (but it is not in my case).
FYI, I am using mailman 3.2.3.
And in my case, when I run the command "mailman notify" I am getting an error saying that the command "notify" is not present.
*(venv3) [root@mailman3 commands]# mailman notifyUsage: mailman [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...Try "mailman -h" for help.Error: No such command "notify".*
And I also saw the help menu of mailman where I don't find any command displaying "notify" and its explanation.
I don't understand where I had done wrong. Could you please help me in this regard?

There was no mailman notify command, and thus no way to get these
periodic notifications, prior to Mailman 3.3.0.
