('ldmadmin -h' or 'ldmadmin -usage' will show you the options possible for ldmadmin.) Depending on how this happened, it's possible that when you restart the ldm your queue might be corrupted. If this is the case, stop the ldm, do 'ldmadmin delqueue', then 'ldmadmin mkqueue', then restart the ldm. It should be able to catch up by re-requesting the past hour's data from your upstream feed.
