Re: ldm log file

Alan,

I think there might be a bug in the binary distribution that you
installed.  What distribution did you install?  A work around would be to
use the flags for pqbinstats and pqact, etc in the ldmd.conf file.  Look
the man pages at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/ldm5/manindex.html

Here's an example

exec pqbinstats  -d /usr/local/ldm/logs -q /usr/local/ldm/data/ldm.pq
exec pqact  -l  /usr/local/ldm/logs -d  -d /usr/local/ldm/data -q
/usr/local/ldm/data/ldm.pq  /usr/local/ldm/etc/pqact.conf

All on one line.  Don't forget to let me know the distribution so I can
fix it here.  Also, I would like to know the size/date

Thanks,
Robb...
