Sending a SIGUSR2 to the pqact(1) process will cause it to rotate through the logging levels in the order (NOTICE -> INFO -> DEBUG -> NOTICE ...). > Yes and yes.

So, pqact(1) doesn't miss data-products if run manually on a saved product-queue but does in the context of a executing LDM system. Is this true? > Well, that pqcat you listed includes the product, which is GRIB, but > just looking at the product ID strings they are just ASCII < 127 here. > That and of course the fact that the second pass works fine.
