Hi Karl,

So, as I wrote before, the script that we make available has a 'stop'
option to it, so another script is not necessary.

I think we discussed on the phone how to invoke the script at boot time,
but I'll write it here for the purpose of getting this into the support
archive.

To have the script invoked at run time, put it in one of the latest
runtime configuration directories (so that other system services will be
started before the LDM). On our machines we have it in /etc/rc3.d. 
There is it named S95ldmd - the 'S' means it will be invoked with the
'start' argument, the '95' determines the order in which it will be run,
specifically, it will be invoked after all the S?? scripts with numbers
less than 95.  

To have the script invoked at shut down time, make a link to the script
and call it K95ldmd.  Then, it at shutdown time that script will be
invoked with a 'stop' option.

For the record, the directory /etc/init.d usually contains links to all
the scripts that are run at start up time.  I guess they do this because
it's convenient to also have all the scripts in one place.

Our sys admin tells me that Solaris machines use hard links for these
scripts, while all others use soft links.  I don't know why.

Hope this helps!

Anne
