Hi Pat,

I'm guessing but perhaps there was a previous abnormal termination so that the
lock and pid files weren't released properly.   I would suggest starting from
scratch:
    ldmadmin stop
    ldmadmin clean         // gets rid of lock files
    ldmadmin delqueue        // delete the queue
    ldmadmin mkqueue       // make a new queue
    ldmadmin start

Also, if everything's running correctly you don't need to stop the ldm to have
it reread pqact.conf.  Instead, do:
    ldmadmin pqactHUP

Also, take a look at the log.  You can use:
    ldmadmin tail
to see the last few lines of the log.   I think that may only output the last
10 lines.  If you want to see, say, the last 40 lines of the log, do:
    tail  -n 40  ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log

If this doesn't help, be sure to send me any error messages or relevant log
messages.

Anne
