[IDD #BIG-478502]: LDM not starting at SIO

Hi Mary,

An LDM restart does make sense in hindsight...

re:

Excellent :-)

The LDM web pages have a script that is typically used to start an
LDM at system boot-up.  This could be adapted to run out of cron
to restart the LDM if it exits for some reason.  Other than that, we
do not have a specific script that we could give you.

By the way, I asked if you already had a restart script since the LDM
restarted before I could run 'ldmadmin start' (I had run 'ldmadmin stop').
I figured that either someone (you?) were logged in at the same time as
I was and restarted the LDM, or there was a cron-initiated restart script.
Given that you do not have a restart script, I will classify this as
a mystery that is not that important to investigate.

Interesting indeed!

No worries on the help... having a login to the 'ldm' account on aeolus
made the troubleshooting very quick and easy!

re:
> Thanks again!

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
