[AWIPS #JHO-698798]: CAVE and EDEX updates

Sometimes I do not make announcements on the mailing list or Unidata blog for 
minor package updates. The LDM update is to turn off the LIGHTNING feed from 
idd by default (to prevent .edu users from unknowingly making available USPLN 
data to public connections.  For CAVE I believe the update was only for some 
map and bundle design changes, possibly some GFE config update as well but I've 
been pushing out new RPMs every now and then with minor changes (anything that 
gets updated on that repo should be installed, it's been vetted for CentOS 6 
system updates). For EDEX there were (or will be) new builds of Python 2.7.10 
and Scientific.

Is this on flurry or another machine? I just logged on to flurry ran stop and 
start for the ldm service (edex_ldm), and confirmed that "edex stop" and "edex 
start" work (all of these commands should be run as root). If it's another 
machine I would need to take a look.
