Dave,

It looks ok to me.  Before installing the new pqact in the ~ldm/bin
directory  I would do:

% ldmadmin stop
% cd ~ldm/bin
% cp pqact pqact.sav

copy in new pqact 

% ls -l pqact  (make sure executable permission are there)
% ldmadmin start
 
check the logs/ldmd.log file that pqact started up ok.
