In the ldmd.conf file does the following entry:
exec "pqact -f NNEXRAD /opt/ldm/etc/GEMPAK/pqact.gempak_nexrad"
refer to the path as it is written in the file? Or, is it assumed
that the path starts at the LDM home directory, OR from where the
pqact is run? etc....
ldmd.conf will reference relative to the ldm installation, unless you
specify an absolute path.
for example, in my installation, which is /home/ldm:
this line:
EXEC "pqact etc/pqact.gempak"
will read from /home/ldm/etc/pqact.gempak because I do not have a "/"
in front of the specification such as /etc/pqact.gempak.. so the above
is a 'relative' reference, where my user ldm will use "/home/ldm" as a
home 'root' base reference
This is exactly what I thought and how I have the structure based. But
the system still isn't seeing files set in the sub-directory relative to
the home directory. This means my problem lies elsewhere and that is a
HUGE help.
you can also specify an absolute path with a "/" in front such as:
EXEC "pqact /home/ldm/etc/pqact.gempak"
the above two samples will work just fine, and refer to the same file. :)
This will be my fallback position as I have already made absolute
pathing work in this setup. But I do want the relative pathing working
for future items.
I use several separate pqact files at the same time (so it's easier to
find what I'm looking for when small adjustments are needed), and keep
them all in /home/ldm/etc
cheers,

Thanks again for the quick response and help.
