OK.

It looks like your machine may have been rebooted yesterday.

Immediately after seeing your email this morning, I did the following
to get the LDM/IDD data transfers working again:

<as the user 'ldm' on unidata.at.fcen.uba.ar>
cd ~ldm
ldmadmin clean
ldmadmin delqueue
ldmadmin mkqueue -f
ldmadmin start

I see that the data has been flowing to your machine since restarting
the LDM using the proceedure above.

I also see, however, that there appears to be a problem with the clock
on unidata.at.fcen.uba.ar.  The latency plot for global observation
data:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?IDS|DDPLUS+unidata.at.fcen.uba.ar

shows that there is a consistent offset in your system clock, and it
appears that the offset changed at about 9 UTC yesterday.  (The change
in the offset coupled with the amount of time that the machine has been
up tells me that unidata.at.fcen.uba.ar was rebooted yesterday at about 9 UTC.)

Some time ago I configured your machine to start the LDM automatically on
reboot.  Evidently there is something wrong in the procedure that I implemented.
I will take a look at the automatic startup script:

/etc/init.d/ldmd

to see what might be failing.

> Thank you in advance.

No worries.

> Best regards,

Nice to "meet" you. Please give my regards to Marisa and Claudia!


Cheers,

Tom
