The command "ldmadmin config | grep version" will tell you the LDM version.

Nice idea. It should be irrelevant, however, due to the IS_ALIVE mechanism
in the LDM, itself.

If you're logging at the verbose level (i.e., INFO), then you should see
messages in the LDM log file like "Connection from upstream LDM silent for
%u seconds" and "Upstream LDM is alive.  Waiting..." (if the upstream LDM is
still online) and "Upstream LDM died: pid=%u" or ""Connection to upstream LDM
closed: pid=%u" (if it's not).

What do you see in the downstream LDM's log file?

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
