I'm trying to start informix from the command line in Windows NT by "oninit -s" "onmode -m" but it seems to hang and does not end any idea? -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own

You 'll probably find that the oninit process is working but the DOS window will hang as this windows is now attached to the oninit process ( which doesn't really show alot while its running ). If you open another dos window ( using the command line utilities ) and issue "onstat -" you'll probably find that its working fine.

On NT, oninit doesn't put itself into the background to run as a daemon process. Use 'starts oninit -s' (or use any other parameter) to do that. Another way is to use 'net start <servicename>' with <servicename> being the actual NT servive name which identfies the instance you would like to start.
