Hi Steve,I reduced the timeout from 20(default) to 8, and that reduced the start-up of ldm to half a minute(much better than my first try). As for needing to <Ctrl> C twice, I can live with that. I don't think it's because the server is too busy. I reverted back to the version 6.7.1 when I initially thought something was wrong, and that quirk didn't occur with 6.7.1.
Anyway, thanks.
James

However, when I invoke it to start, it takes a lot longer to initiate than previous versions had done(over a minute).If the hang-up is due to ntpdate(1) timeout-out trying to connect to time servers, then you should consider setting the variable $ntpdate_timeout to a smaller value in the ldmadmin(1) configuration-file (etc/ldmadmin-pl.conf). You should be able to verify if ntpdate(1) timeouts are the problem by repeatedly executing the command "ldmadmin checktime". The order in which the time-servers are accessed is random, so you'll have to execute the command many times to get a feel for it.Also, I have to type "<Ctrl> C" twice if I want to end the "ldmadmin watch" command(similarly for the "tail" option). Before one <Ctrl> C was enough.I've seen that only when the CPU is very, very busy. The new features in the LDM should not be the cause. Regards Steve Emmerson
