Frank,

Is there anything relevant in the LDM log file?

Is the pqact(1) process responsible for decoding into GEMPAK files still 
running? Match the relevant "EXEC pqact" entry in the LDM configuration-file 
with the output of a ps(1) to determine the relevant process. Once you have the 
process' PID, grep(1) the LDM log file for all messages from that process. Is 
there anything relevant?
