Re: onstat and tbstat

Note: Some recipients have been dropped due to syntax errors. SMTP Headers are unavailable for viewing due to server configuration. The tbxxxx files are EXACTLY THE SAME FILES as the onxxxx versions - they are Hard Links. If you do an "ls -li", you will notice that they have the same inode, I think Informix left them like this, so as to ease the transition for people upgrading from 5 to 7. When version 7 is installed, these links are created automatically by the installation (See the $INFORMIXDIR/etc/onlinefiles). Regards. Stuart. ______________________________ Reply Separator ____________________________ _____ Subject: onstat and tbstat Author: "ANTS" <sui@naseej.com> at LEND LEASE/LLAP Date: 05/04/98 18:27 Hi, We have just upgraded from 5.x to 7.x. Those tbxxxx files are now onxxxx files, but they still exist lots of tbxxxx like tbstat, tbmonitor, and so on, are these files different from the new version onstat and onmonitor or they are the just the same but with different names?? I read some where that Informix put these files for convenience and will not support them in future versions (we are still in 7.13) I would like to delete those tb* files, any harm??? Nien
