Mark,

Was a new version of "perl" recently installed?  If so, then this
might account for the new behavior of the isRunning() function in
the "ldmadmin" script.

I modified the isRunning() function in the "ldmadmin" script based on
your observations.  I would be very interested in its behavior on your
system.  The new function is attached.  Would you be willing to try it?

Steve Emmerson
