Please send me the relevant entry in the LDM configuration-file, etc/ldm.conf, 
that starts the pqact(1) process in question.

You can list the contents of the product queue via the command "pqcat -vl-".  
The "-o", "-f", and "-p" options are also useful.  Execute the command "man 
pqcat" for more information.

You can verify that the relevant pqact(1) process is running via the ps(1) 
utility.  Match the process identifier, PID, against the PIDs in the LDM log 
file, logs/ldmd.log.

If you use a "-f" option with the above-mentioned ps(1) command, then all its 
options and arguments will also be printed.  The last argument (if it exists) 
specifies the pqact(1) configuration-file.
