Daryl, > Sorry, I don't follow. How do I stop them? It clogs up my real-time LDM > log monitor program :(] I think the "ldmping" utility is being periodically executed on hosts pircsl4.agron.iastate.edu metfs1.agron.iastate.edu. I think one such "Exiting" message will appear in the LDM log file on "pircsds1" for each invocation of the "ldmping" utility (which is no different than before). Is this a problem?
