Is there an EXEC entry in the LDM configuration-file (etc/ldmd.conf) for a "pqact" process? Is the "pqact" process running? Verify that the product-queue contains products that match entries in the "pqact" configuration-file (etc/pqact.conf) by manually running the "pqcat" utility with feedtype and pattern options taken from the configuration-file entries. > Mike > > > ldm 9834 1 0 11:20 ? 00:00:00 rpc.ldmd -P 388 -q > > /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq /home/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf > > ldm 9838 9834 0 11:20 ? 00:00:04 rpc.ldmd -P 388 -q > > /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq /home/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf > > ldm 9839 9834 0 11:20 ? 00:00:03 rpc.ldmd -P 388 -q > > /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq /home/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf > > ldm 9840 9834 0 11:20 ? 00:00:01 rpc.ldmd -P 388 -q > > /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq /home/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf > > ldm 9841 9834 0 11:20 ? 00:00:04 rpc.ldmd -P 388 -q > > /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq /home/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf > > ldm 9842 9834 0 11:20 ? 00:00:00 rpc.ldmd -P 388 -q > > /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq /home/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf > > ldm 9843 9834 0 11:20 ? 00:00:00 rpc.ldmd -P 388 -q > > /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq /home/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf > > ldm 9844 9834 0 11:20 ? 00:00:00 rpc.ldmd -P 388 -q > > /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq /home/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf > > ldm 9845 9834 0 11:20 ? 00:00:00 rpc.ldmd -P 388 -q > > /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq /home/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf > > ldm 9846 9834 0 11:20 ? 00:00:00 rpc.ldmd -P 388 -q > > /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq /home/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf > > ldm 9847 9834 0 11:20 ? 00:00:00 rpc.ldmd -P 388 -q > > /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq /home/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf > > > -- > Michael E.
