Mailman2 CLI commands for Mailman3
Hello.
Sorry if this is an old topic. I'm in the process of migrating from 2.1 to 3.2. In my use case one of the advantages of Mailman 2.1 vs services like Google Groups has been the ability to manage lists from the command line. Things like using sync_members to update the list for a committee when the membership of the committee is updated one a year, or like using find_members and remove_members to remove a user from all mailing lists when they leave the organization. Even the ability to script mailing list creation.
So far I haven't found these commands in Mailman3. I hope there is a plan to add these soon.
Thanks.

They are there. In MM 3, the command line commands are all subcommands
of the mailman command. See mailman --help where you will see
subcommands including syncmembers, findmember and delmembers. Note
that prior to 3.3.2 there were no addmembers, delmembers and
syncmembers subcommands, but there were modes of the mailman members command that would accomplish these functions.

Mark,
Thank you for your reply. This will help greatly in adapting to this new (to me) version.
