Hello all, I have a system that has been up and running for a while. It's running ldm-6.10.1 (I know it's out of date, but I don't think that has anything to do with this issue). It's getting data just fine but I'm having trouble with the pqact.conf. I am using PIPE and apparently somehow my tabs are being converted to *horizontal* tabs? I have no idea how this is happening, maybe I'm just going crazy but I assume that's what's happening, because when I put pqact into verbose mode I get this sort of output: Jan 4 08:04:09 kpixnws pqact[3633] INFO: 71680 20160104160404.968 EXP 000 /tmp/w2mirror.7749.2/tar_of_data_and_record//data/eecdata/KPIX/SpectrumWidth/00.50/20160104-160328.netcdf.gz.tar Jan 4 08:04:09 kpixnws pqact[3633] INFO: pipe: -close*#011* /home/ldm/w2receive_multiple_files.sh#011/data/incoming/KPIX Jan 4 08:04:09 kpixnws pqact[3633] INFO: Deleting closed PIPE entry: pid=6793, cmd="-close /home/ldm/w2receive_multiple_files.sh /data/incoming/KPIX" [filel.c:290] Through some searching the "#011" are apparently ascii horizontal tabs. I have retyped the lines multiple times, but only get rid of the odd ascii character by removing the tabs and putting spaces in. Unfortunately things still didn't get piped through my script due to the missing tabs. The data is fine, in fact a FILE entry in the pqact.conf works fine (tabs there are okay?) and I am able to cat them through my script by hand and it works fine. Also, the lines that were in there worked just fine in the past. AFAIK there have been no changes to the system except for a reboot. I'm starting to wonder if something is corrupted.
