A shell script is run by the "pqact" utility and the data-product is
piped to it as a result of a PIPE entry in the "pqact" configuration-file.
The PIPE entry can also set arguments for the script.

More information on the PIPE entry can be found at
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-6.6.4/basics/pqact.conf.html>.
