Hi Gilbert, re: > Another wrinkle since I did this. When my crontab job to do the "ldmadmin > newlog" kicks off, It says it couldn't reset the LDM registry, and it > fails to rotate the logs. Hmm, interesting. Since routines kicked off by cron have a default PATH setting, my commenting out the twiddling of the PATH in 'ldmadmin' would result in the ~ldm/ldm-6.12.14/bin directory _not_ being part of PATH, and this would account for the failure. At this point, I think that the only "solution", especially as it is Friday, is to include the fully qualified references to decoders/scripts in pqact.conf, uncomment the PATH twiddling in 'ldmadmin', and restarting the LDM. I'll attend to this. Question: - have you looked at the PATH in-scope for 'ldm' on weather3? Can it be shortened?
