I'd start with the description of LDM behavior at

    
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/ldm/ldm-6.0.14/basics/behavior.html

and then investigate the rtstats(1) program.  This program has a
man(1)-page in the distribution.  You might be able to modify rtstats(1)
to do what you want.

I'd then give me a call.  :-)

I'm experimenting with putting the LDM codebase under our experimental
GForge system (www.gforge.org -- it's similar to SourceForge).  Are you
interested in becoming a developer?
