lappin,
I didn't get any of your config files, just giving general answers.
pqsend sends products from a LDM queue to a downstream machine. If pqsend
responds that the program isn't registered, then it's probably not
running. Another command to run is ldmping, ie
% ldmping -i 5 -h <remoteMachine>
This tells the LDM status of the remote machine. Another command pqcat
lets one look at the products in the local queue. If an LDM is
running locally them the ldmadmin command also lets one look at the
products. There are man pages for all the commands located at:

Look at these links and others in gempak
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/examples/nowrad/nowrad.html
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/examples/nids/nids.html
This link has pqact examples for the WSI feedtype:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/tutorial/pqact/images.tbl
There's also a search page for previous answered questions at:
www.unidata.ucar.edu/search.html
Look at the gempak links
I can answer the LDM questions but I don't feel 100% qualified to answer
the gempak questions. If you send those type questions to support then
they will be routed to the gempak support person.
Thanks,
