Jamie,

I'm afraid I don't know what to tell you because I don't use Python.

I can tell you that the name of the script is used in an execvp(2) system-call 
and everything after the script in the PIPE entry is passed as arguments.

I'll ask around.

> That would be true but I am using getopt to handle command line arguments.
> When I leave out the argument handler and just let pqact.conf be:
> PIPE -close /data/alucard-ops/util/iem-ldm.py -i \3_hourly
> The script seems to fail. This is true even when I dont use getopt.
> 
> If I leave out the argument:
> PIPE -close /data/alucard-ops/util/iem-ldm.py
> Things seem to work fine.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
