Yes, and this also verifies the pattern you are using in your pqact.conf entries. > However, I double checked after this and still no files are being saved. Here are a couple of things to check: - make sure that the user running the LDM (typically 'ldm') can write to the directory you are trying to write to: /home/colin/radar/level_II - I noticed that there are two spaces at the end of your first uncommented NEXRD2 action. Try deleting the spaces to see if that makes any difference. (Remember that after you modify pqact.conf entries, you can tell the LDM to reread the actions using: <as 'ldm'> ldmadmin pqactcheck ldmadmin pqactHUP Please let us know the results of this test.
