So far, we have no answer to this one. We are running 5.1.2beta with at least one 'PIPE -close' entry in pqact.conf with no problem, so we're pretty confident it does work. I'm wondering about your environment. Did you build a new queue? The data structures are different in this version, so the old queue won't work. Let me know - if this isn't it I'll try some other things. Anne -- *************************************************** Anne Wilson UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden P.O.
