So /thunder1/ldm/logs is the location of the ldmd.log* files and the *stats files? If that's correct does user LDM have permission to cd to that directory? If that's correct, what's $HOME set to? ie %echo $HOME You might want to run mailpqstats as user LDM in debug mode, ie % perl -d mailpqstats -d /thunder1/ldm/logs -h thunder.msrc.sunysb.edu Inside the debugger, the s and n commands step though the code, the s goes into procedures. The p command prints out the variables, ie. p $HOME q quits the debugger. Let me know what you find.
