LDM 6.7.1 Release Notes

Changes from LDM 6.7.0

• Installation:
  • Modified the rule for making the RPC library so that it always adds the object modules because they weren't always added to the LDM library on a very fast Linux 2.6.26.6-79.fc9.x86_64 system.
  • Added printing of system logging daemon PID file to configure(1) script output.
  • Improved configure(1) help message.
• ldmadmin(1):
  • Modified "ldmadmin pqactHUP". In general, it now restricts its search for pqact(1) processes to those owned by the user. This should only affect sites running multiple pqact(1)-using LDMs on the same host.
• rpc.ldmd(1) (LDM server):
  • Improved handling of "EXEC pqact..." entries in the LDM configuration-file that have trailing whitespace by the ldmadmin(1) script.
  • Improved ldmd(1) manual-page.
• Downstream LDM:
  • Fixed bug in downstream-LDM code when it receives a data-product that is larger than the largest data-product that the product-queue can hold. Before, the downstream-LDM process would terminate; now it emits an error-level log message and continues. (Thanks AWC).
• pqact(1):
  • Fixed a bug in pqact(1) that caused it to receive a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) when an action-entry matched the dummy "_BEGIN_" data-product. Thanks Chuck.
  • Promoted "timed-out" message from pqact(1) PIPE action from WARN to ERROR.
• pqinsert(1):
  • Added "-i" option to synopsis section of pqinsert(1) man(1)-page.
• Misc:
  • Modified manual-pages to automatically indicate the time of last modification and put options in alphabetical order.
