What command did you execute in order to run the scour(1) program manually? Was 
it "ldmadmin scour"?

I assume you executed the command "ldmadmin pqactHUP" after executing the 
scour(1) program manually.

The script "~ldm/util/scour.sh" isn't part of the LDM package: the LDM scour(1) 
program is installed in "~ldm/bin". Where did the "scour.sh" message come from?

The above messages indicate that a SIGHUP was sent to pqact(1) processes 3 
times over the course of 4 minutes. Was this done by you?

I don't know what you did, exactly, and your installation appears to be 
non-standard -- so it's difficult to diagnose the problem.

It would help if I could log onto the system in question as the LDM user. I've 
attached my ssh(1) public keys.
