Collin,

That's almost correct.  The exec pqsurf line needs to be uncommented in
the ldmd.conf file.  The pqsurf queue must be created, ie:

% ldmadmin mksurfqueue
 
THe product pattterns are different, so run the pqsurf with the -v flag at
first to see what the patterns look like, then create your pqsurf.conf
entries to match the patterns.  The patterns look similar to:

aaxx 06344 022300

Read the man pages for pqsurf and ldmadmin
for details.  Don't forget to stop/start the LDM for the new
configurations to be effective.
