[LDM #NYK-599005]: Trying to start LDM at startup

corepuncher,

You should be able to do what you want. The LDM documentation contains a script 
that can be used as a template for starting the LDM at boot-time. It uses 
commands like "su - ldm -c ...".

Are there any error messages from the commands?

Are there any error messages in the LDM log file?

> su - ldm -c 'ldmadmin delqueue'
> su - ldm -c 'ldmadmin mkqueue'
> su - ldm -c 'ldmadmin start'

> It EXECUTES, but, stuff is not working. For example scripts in
