Patrick,
ldmprods was never meant to be run out of cron. Since ldmprods runs
continuously, it would never terminate inside of the cron job. Also,
ldmprods takes a couple passes to get the output 100% correct. That said,
if you are looking for a particular event to happen, one could look at the
*.stats files in the log directory. If you are motivated, you could use
mailpqstats script as a template especially the ldmstats routine to
extract the info you are looking to investigate. The output could be made
into a batch mode so then you could put the script in the cron.
Hope this helps,
Robb...
