SYNOPSIS

16       ldmConnect [-a] [-s] [-l] -e ext
17

DESCRIPTION

19       The "ldmConnect" script orders and combines bulletin segments in  memo‐
20       ry,  strips  out extra headers, and then writes the completed bulletin.
21       If "ldmConnect" exits, it writes an "inProgress" file to  maintain  the
22       current  state  of  processing.  When restarted, "ldmConnect" reads the
23       "inProgress" file first. Non split reports are written directly.
