Michael,

It's also a good idea to have your script log any errors it
encounters.  Because the script runs as a grandchild process
of the LDM daemon, it doesn't have a standard error stream.
Consequently, you have to explicitly work around this lack
by using something like the "logger" utility.  For example,

if false; then
    logger -p local0.error "The utility 'false' exited with status $?"
fi

The above will log the error to the LDM log file.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
