Re: Informix Startup on HP-UX UNIX

The procedure is in the fine manuals. Esentially you use the command onmode -ky I seem to remember. You have to make sure a bunch ofenvironement variables are set correctly first by your script. Check your manual for the exact onmode parameters to do an immediate shutdown of OnLine. I never put the startup of online into any of the startup script. If I ever get a crash of the machine I want to have full manual control over when OnLine is restarted. Of course you can allways go into single user mode first and remove your startup script. One day you may forget though. The other side of this is if you have an auto restart mode to take care of restart after power outages and similar situations. Than I would put controls into the startup script to make sure the machine was stoped for such a reason before I restarted OnLine. This is perhaps a little paranoid, but on the other hand our machines stop only once ever other year or so, if that often. eric_r@iacorp.com wrote: :Hi, I am trying to add Informix to the startup/shutdown procedures for :HP-UX 10.2.
