We need to know why the top-level LDM process did this. To diagnose the logging problem, I suggest 1. Going into the directory "src/ulog". 2. Executing the command "make ulogger". 3. Testing the ability to log to the standard error stream by executing the commands ./ulogger -l- -p error "NOTICE test" ./ulogger -l- -p warning "NOTICE test" ./ulogger -l- -p notice "NOTICE test" ./ulogger -l- -p info "NOTICE test" ./ulogger -l- -p debug "NOTICE test" 4. Testing the ability to log to the LDM log file by executing the commands ./ulogger -p error "ERROR test" ./ulogger -p warning "WARNING test" ./ulogger -p notice "NOTICE test" ./ulogger -p info "INFO test" ./ulogger -p debug "DEBUG test" Please let me know what you discover.
