mailman is run from /srv/lists.launchpad.net
The startup was failing (from nohup.out) due to a pid file in:
/srv/launchpad.net/var/production-mailman-launchpad.pid
Starting Mailman's master qrunner.

Shutting down Mailman's master qrunner
A nicer "why" error would also be appreciated. :-)

Can we get this fixed or documented immediately so that we can keep the service available at all times?
