Gilbert,

I just checked the LDM 6.12.10 installation on our Linux 2.6.35 system that 
decodes almost everything and both the PIPE and FILE actions are working.

Use the command "ps -ef | grep pqact" to get the PID-s of your pqact(1) 
processes, then send a USR2 signal to one of them to put it in verbose logging 
mode. Check the LDM log file for messages from that PID to see if it's filing 
or piping. When you're done, send two more USR2 signals to the process to put 
it back in normal logging mode and verify by checking the LDM log file 
(debugging mode will fill-up your disk).
