Hi Patrick,
Here's another thought about the ldm not starting at boot problem. I'm
wondering about the 'su -' aspect of the script that makes the shell a
login shell. There are two things I'd like you to try:
1) Try moving just the .login file to the side and then rebooting.
2) Keep .login in place, but modify the script as follows:
/bin/su ldm -c "$LDMBIN/ldmadmin delqueue"
/bin/su ldm -c "$LDMBIN/ldmadmin mkqueue"
# /bin/su ldm -c "$LDMBIN/ldmadmin delsurfqueue"
# /bin/su ldm -c "$LDMBIN/ldmadmin mksurfqueue"
/bin/su ldm -c "$LDMBIN/ldmadmin start"
That is, take out the '-' argument to su.
The former does a login but doesn't execute your .login, and the latter
will not do a login at all. Please let me know what happens.
Anne
