Jingtao,

There are two ways to do what you want.

The firstway is to use the PIPE action in a pqact(1) configuration-file:

    <feed><tab><pattern><tab>PIPE<tab>-close shefparse

This assumes that "shefparse" reads from its standard input stream.

The second way is to use the FILE and EXEC actions in a pqact(1) 
configuration-file:

    <feed><tab><pattern><tab>FILE<tab>-close <pathname>
    <feed><tab><pattern><tab>EXEC<tab>shefparse <pathname>

More information on these actions can be found at 
<https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/pqact.conf.html>.
