As you suspect, "ldmadmin dostats" has been superseded by "rtstats". You can also remove the "pqbinstats" entry from the LDM configuration-file. At this point, it's not clear to me what the problem is. Perhaps Steve Chiswell, the creator of the rtstats(1) system, will have something to say. Does the command "ps -efax | grep rtstats" show that rtstats(1) is running? Regards, Steve Emmerson
