Hi Gilbert,

There is a way to get around the LDM crashing problem you are having
on weather3 if you know the 'pqact' invocation (EXEC) that is always the
culprit:

- create a shell script (e.g., Bourne/BASH script) that runs the 'pqact'
  invocation that is problematic (meaning it core dumps) and EXEC the
  script from the LDM configuration file, ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf

  NB: the most important thing about the shell script would be that it
  exits without error.

In case it is not obvious, this is a band-aid "fix", not a solution.

The good news is that 'pqact' core files will continue to be
generated so they can be examined.  The bad news is that the core
files will need to be dealt with (e.g., remove them once a week?)


Cheers,

Tom
