LySanias, Although the pqact(1) program can be invoked on the command-line, it is intended to be invoked via EXEC entries in the LDM configuration-file, "etc/ldmd.conf". See <file:///$LDMHOME/share/doc/ldm/basics/ldmd.conf.html#EXEC> (where "$LDMHOME" is the home-directory of the LDM user on your system). The contents of a pqact(1) configuration-file are described in <file:///$LDMHOME/share/doc/ldm/basics/pqact.conf.html>. It is crucial to pay attention to the use of tab characters. Examples of pqact(1) configuration-file entries can be found in the installed, default pqact(1) configuration-file, "$LDMHOME/etc/pqact.conf". The examples are commented-out. If, after reading the above links, you still have questions, please feel free to contact me. > Full Name: LySanias Broyles > Email Address: address@hidden > Organization: United States Army Corps of Engineers > Package Version: > Operating System: > Hardware: > Description of problem: > > What is the proper syntax (and required arguments) to use the "pqact" > command-line utility? > > I looked in the man pages and the webpage but there are no examples. > I want to process products that are in our queue but for some reason > the actions in the pqact file are not being followed for this particular > file and we need to troubleshoot.
