Hi Frank,

You're very close. The NIMAGE patten action looks good, though you will want to 
make sure that you're using TAB and not space characters after "NIMAGE" and 
before and after "FILE" and "-close". If you copy/paste the entry from another 
file or an online reference you'll need to change these space characters to 
TABs.

In your ldmd.conf file you'll need an EXEC entry for your pqact.conf file (be 
sure to use your full path and filename):

EXEC    "pqact -f NIMAGE /local/ldm/etc/pqact.conf"

After this edit restart the ldm with "ldmadmin restart"

You should be good at this point.  If this doesn't work for you or if you see 
anything that looks off let me know.
