What userid to drop an informix database as
The original poster could not drop a database on a UAT server because of error 425 (database opened by another user), and after su to informix got dbaccess not found. TBP quoted the 425 meaning: exclusive open or multiple connections; retry when idle. Joerg Volz suggested running ./dbaccess since the current directory may not be in PATH. No confirmed outcome.

I'm on a UAT server, logged on as cridv2
In dbaccess drop database option gives error "425 Another user started
this database."
So I su to root
then su to informix
I find dbaccess in /user/informix/bin and cd to there
ls -l dbaccess
-rwxr-xr-x 1 informix informix 472558 Jan26 1996 dbaccess
Now however dbaccess gives "dbaccess not found"
Is there another userid that informix is started by?
TIA<

-425 Database is currently opened by another user.
Another user has opened the requested database in exclusive mode, or
you have more than one connection to the database server. Repeat the
statement after a short delay or when the database is known to be
idle.

did you try starting dbaccess with ./dbaccess ? Not every *NIX Installation
includes the current directory in your $PATH Variable.
