Also, your comment: "In the past, LDM would run about a week before crashing, which seems to be very common" We are used to LDMs running for extended periods of time -- like months -- before they are shutdown manually for some ldmd.conf change or a system reboot. In order to find out what may be wrong with your LDM, please send us some specifics: - LDM version you are running (e.g., LDM-6.0.14) - operating system version (e.g., Sun Solaris 5.8) - compilers you used to build the LDM if you built from source - the contents of your ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf file - the contents of your ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf file - a list of any processes you are running from the 'ldm' account (like from cron) We should be able to get to the bottom of your LDM problems pretty quickly.
