Hi Gilbert,


Hi Steve,
Is it insufficient, inconvenient, or just hard to remember to execute the command 

   pqact -vl - -q /dev/null pathname


Probably, yes, and absolutely. :-)


when you modify file "pathname"?
I could modify the file "ldmadmin-pl.conf" to create a variable that contained the pathnames of all the "pqact" configuration-files. The components of this variable could then be checked by the "ldmadmin pqactcheck" command. The problem is that there is no guarantee that the variable will contain all the files.
I think a better solution would be for the ldmadmin script to extract the pathnames of the "pqact" configuration-files from the LDM configuration-file. I'll think about it.
I'm thinking along these lines. Can you modify the ldmadmin program to do this: 

$ldmadmin pqactcheck

/path/pqact.conf: no errors found
/path/pqact.mcidasA: no errors found
/path/pqact.mcidasb: no errors found
/path/pqact.gempak: no errors found
/path/pqact.level2: error found on line 142 (or whatever floats your boat)
When you do an ldmadmin pqactHUP, it automagically re-reads all of them. I thought it would be not very difficult to make it check to see if active pqact files (based on process ID checking) have a problem. 
You should know the path from $ldmhome of all the active pqact files.
And you should know the active pqact files from ldmd.conf, as well as from doing a "ps -ax grep pqact" or something similar.
