Tom, This is a configuration problem, the crontab should be set up similar to this with ? as a time to check ? * * * * * bin/ldmfail -p primary_host -f failover_host The ldmfail script is looking the primary and failover host in the ldmd.conf file on a request line. If it doesn't find either the message No primary or failover host found in /usr/local/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf is sent out. So either the crontab p/f hosts need to be changed to match the ldmd.conf or vice versa. Read the top of ldmfail for more info Robb...
