Does this happen if you replace EXP ^(METAR) EXEC -wait /apps/datatools/runDecoder.ksh with, for example, EXP ^(METAR.*) PIPE -close /apps/datatools/metarDecoder.ksh \1 The above is more efficient than using an EXEC entry in the pqact(1) configuration-file coupled with a script that uses pqcat(1) to obtain the desired data-product. It would require, however, that the script be rewritten to read the data-product from standard input rather than use pqact(1). > Thanks, > Scott Regards, Steve Emmerson
