Since it's in deke's queue that part worked ok. There is a problem with your pqact entry on deke. Since I couldn't decode deke's pqact.conf file, here's what the entry should look like: EXP /home/ldm/data/ldm.test FILE data/ldm.test The white spaces are tabs. I would suggest running a notifyme on deke so you can see the product arriving and what the "real" header looks like. % notifyme -vl - or % ldmadmin watch The product header in notifyme is what pqact gets to match. pqact entries can get tricky because they use regular expresssion chars, here's an URL about creating pqact type entries. http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/ws/ws.html#schedule Look at day 2 sections "Using the Data" parts 1 and 2 > At this point the tail I have going on the logs shows no activity but, if I do > a: The ldm in not running in verbose mode, so it doesn't show the arrival of every product. But at this point, you don't need to run the ldm in verbose mode, use notifyme. Robb... > `pqcat` on barah and deke they both show the contents of the ascii file > ldm.test > in the product queue.
