Actually, if you don't use sqlexec for an seipcpip connection, then you will probably get an error -- the name in the last column is the name of an executable, located in $INFORMIXDIR/lib if there is no (absolute?) path info in the entry. I've used variants on: monitor_se seipcpip osiris /work/jleffler/bin/sqlmonitor as a way of running my own monitor program instead of sqlexec. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
