[LDM #GAH-289852]: LDM logging name tags

Which solution?  Changing the hostname or using the external command?

The external command does have the disadvantage that it requires that the 
"Starting Up" message exist in one of the log files -- which it mightn't if the 
LDM has been operating for a long time due to log file rotation.

I don't know.  That strikes me as a bit of a kludge.

Also, it does nothing for upstream LDM processes (which have the same 
"problem").

It would take significantly more coding than simply changing the hostname to a 
fully-qualified one (which is an easy modification).
