Robb,
The tip on searching for the process ID in the log file was excellent.
It does not show up on any recent log files, but it does show up on the
file from when the ldm was restarted:
ldmd.log.5:Nov 18 20:20:46 foehn pqact[7584] NOTE: Starting Up
ldmd.log.5:Nov 18 20:20:46 foehn pqact[7584] NOTE: Configuration-file
"etc/pqact.netcdf" has no entries. You should probably not start this
program instead.
I have attached the ldmd.conf and the pqact.netcdf files to provide some
help. It appears to me that there are entries in pqact.netcdf, and that
it is properly called from ldmd.conf. Obviously something is not write.
To verify that the spelling jives, I did a listing of the etc directory:
[ldm at foehn etc]$ ls -l
total 344
drwxr-xr-x 2 ldm met-apps 4096 Apr 25 2005 6.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 ldm met-apps 3116 Apr 22 2005 ldmadmin-pl.conf

Please let me know as to the other suggestions as to where I should look
for problems.
Thanks
