I wanted to corroborate an observation: When I attempt to run dsmc on a box with no dsm.opt, it presents me with a "warning" about the omission, and soldiers on with running the program.
When I attempt to run an incr from the scheduler, though, I get silent failure. Simply 'touch'ing the dsm.opt file (i.e. a zero-size file, no directives) permits the scheduler process to run normally, and of course obviates the warning at the command line. This was on an ubuntu box, Karmic, I think. Does this match your-all experiences? If so, I'm going to go do the PMR thing. It's silly that a warning condition should do this. - Allen S. Rout
