Question:

How can I get rid of the detection and arrival flags in the orbmonrtd display?

Answer:

Orbmonrtd reads the detection and arrival flags from the orbserver in packets that names of either /pf/.* or /db/.*. You can prevent orbmonrtd from reading these packets with the -reject flag, which means they will not be displayed. Try a command line like the following:

% orbmonrtd : -reject '/db/.*|/pf/.*'
