It'a actually adding more than just the contents of ldmadmin watch to the
file. What you can do, after enabling verbose mode, is 'ldmadmin tail' to
see the logging live. I suspect you've got the requests coming in but
perhaps you have a bunch of lines commented out in ~/etc/pqact.conf, and
it's unable to to find anything it thinks it's supposed to write out.
OR... another issue: What do your request lines look like? (parallel
question: What version of ldm are you running?) If your request line is
'request ANY ".*" from foo.bar' you will get the feeling you should be
seeing something, but you won't on later versions of LDM.

“Big whorls have little whorls,
That feed on their velocity;
And little whorls have lesser whorls,
And so on to viscosity.”
Lewis Fry Richardson (1881-1953)
