Gerry,

Rtstats behaves just like pqact with the -v flag. Using that flag will
log each product looked at into the local ldmd.log file. It tells you
about each product in the queue that is being used to generate the stats 
message that is sent.
It does not make the program report more frequently. It will add significantly 
to your local log file!

To make the program report more frequently, you would want to change the
value of "DEFAULT_INTERVAL" in ~ldm/src/rtstats/binstats.c which
currently is "60" seconds. Originally I used 30 seconds with rtstats
when fewer sites were reporting, but for the past 3 years, it has been 
configured for 60 seconds.
