Shelly,

This implies that the decoding is not working.

Hmm...

I jumped onto metlab and see that 'root' is editing ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf.
Can you exit your vi session for this file?

I took a quick look at the action for NLDN decoding, and see that it
is incorrect:

# Lightning data

NLDN    
^([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9])([0-3][0-9][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])([0-5][0-9])
        FILE    data/ldm/mcidas/lightning/\1_\2
        PIPE    -close
        nldn2md -d /home/ldm/data/mcidas 70 NLDN DIALPROD=LD \1\2 \3\400 DEV=CCN

You can not have both a FILE and PIPE in a single action.

I took a look at my example NLDN action in ldm-mcidas-pqact.conf, and
see that it doesn't have this mistake:

NLDN    ^([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9])([0-3][0-9][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9
])([0-5][0-9])
        PIPE    -close 
        nldn2md -vl logs/ldm-mcidas.log
        -d data/mcidas 70 NLDN DIALPROD=LD \1\2 \3\400 DEV=CCN

>Thanks in advance,

As soon as the edit session for pqact.conf is exited, I will fix the NLDN
action and see if we can't get the lightning decoding running on metlab.
