Have you made the appropriate sacrifices?  Said the appropriate
prayers??  The gods can be uppity, as we all know.

I'll take a look at this particular ship obs problem this morning.

It's the log that would give pertainent info, if any.  You may still
have it, as the logs are rotated whenever the ldm is restarted.  You may
also have a cron job that rotates the logs once per day, in which case,
if it happened more than four days ago, it may be gone.  The current log
file is ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log.  The old log files are in the same
directory, and called ldmd.log.1, ldmd.log.2, ldmd.log.3, and
ldmd.log.4.  Most people keep the default value of four backup logs,
usually four days worth of logs.  

I'll take a look at your logs this this morning also.

Yes, I'll do that.  But, I would like to do that later this week, would
that be ok?

What will your local topology be?  Will you be retiring metoera?  Or,
will aeolus feed meteora?  And, which will feed your downstream sites?

With the right sacrifices, prayers, and planetary alignments, it could
happen!!
