Shared memory: permission denied.
or when i go into onmonitor and sel. an option send the message:
Unable to attach to shared memory.
Permission denied
Informix IDS 7.31.UD3

thanks in advanced
Hi,
either the database instance isn't running (shutdown / crash - do you
see the oninit processes?) or your environment variables are not set
(at least INFORMIXDIR and INFORMIXSERVER, and the PATH must find the
correct onstat version - if you have installed different Informix
versions on the machine).
Regards,
Andreas Kutsche
