[LDM #KYZ-560013]: pqact.conf questions

Tiros,

You seem to have one "pqact.conf" file in the first instance, but then two in 
the second. Please explain.

How many EXEC-s of pqact(1) do you have in the LDM configuration-file?

Do you have multiple EXEC-s of pqact(1) in the LDM configuration-file? If so, 
do any of them use the same pqact(1) configuration-file (which is a no-no)? If 
not, could you have duplicate entries for handling lightning data in multiple 
active pqact(1) configuration-files?

Can you send me the original "pqact.conf" file (with the hundreds of entries) 
and the second (with only the lightning entries)?

Offhand, I have no idea why you're seeing what you're seeing.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
