= Sending a service advisory =

As of January 2013, we use [wiki:hct here comes trouble] to release service advisories.

Please review the [wiki:hct here comes trouble] page before there is a need for a service advisory, because it requires some initial configuration to get started.

Once configured, a service advisory can be released with:

 * cd /path/to/hct-live/
 * trouble message

The message will automatically be sent to the service-advisories list, but you must manually approve it. To approve it, login to [https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/admindb/service-advisories the service advisories approval queue] to review and approve the message.

You can use the mailman sitewide password (as stored in [wiki:keyringer our shared password file]) to access the approval queue.
