Actually, the previous idea in the original message
below won't work, but here is an example that will.
You can leave this file in majordomo folder or
majordomo/bin and call it whatever you want.
Just adapt the addresses, paths, digest name
password as necessary.
Remember to chmod it to 777!
use this crontab entry: (every night at 11:30pm.) -
__________________________________
30 23 * * * /path/to/file/makedigest.pl
use this perl doc - makedigest.pl:
__________________________________
#!/usr/bin/perl
open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail majordomo\@myaddress.com") ||
&Error("Can\'t open sendmail!");
print MAIL "From: Cron Daemon <me\@myaddress.com>\n";
print MAIL "To: majordomo\@myaddress.com\n";
print MAIL "Subject: Digest Sent\n\n";
print MAIL "mkdigest <list-digest> <password>";
close (MAIL);

Pretty simple, eh?
