Hi Mary, re: > Thanks so much for the restart of ldm! Makes sense that a restart was > necessary after the DNS change. An LDM restart does make sense in hindsight... re: > I will try to remember to check the ldmd.log file in the future :) Excellent :-) re: > As far as I know, Larry did not set up a script to see if ldm is running > (and restart if not). > Do you have a sample script for this? I could toss it into the cron batch on > aeolus - what do you think? 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. re: > There are so many people using the data that comes in to aeolus - people I > don't even know about! Interesting indeed! re: > So I appreciate your taking a look at this so quickly. Hopefully it will be > another 6 months + before I have to bother you again! 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.
