My pqact.conf entry looks like this: > > WMO ^FPUS5[1-6] .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9]) > PIPE /usr/local/ldm/decoders/ldmConnect -e .zone > (\1:yy)(\1:mm) data/nwx/pubprod/zone Here's an entry from our LDM, the entry is only on two lines, try putting the ldmConnect parmeters on one line. Try changing the dir data/nwx/pubprod/zone to another dir or just a .
