Hi guys, When I logged on this morning at 9 am, I saw the ldmping failure to motherlode attached at the end of this message. I logged on, and sure enough the LDM was not running. It appears that motherlode was down since uptime showed it was only up for 9 minutes: % uptime 9:14am up 9:12, 1 user, load average: 9.58, 5.75, 3.64 Before noticing that the machine had been rebooted, I tried starting it, but nothing happened. I assumed that this was caused by the development environment switch, so I rebuilt and reinstalled ldm-6.0.0.9. When I tried to start the LDM still nothing happened. I then did a 'ps' looking for ldmadmin and saw that it was running 'ldmadmin mkqueue'. After a couple of minutes, the queue was rebuilt and the LDM started.
