Re: No Idea how to start the Informix-Server-Process on Solaris :(

Hi All, With absolutely no offense to Art, or Obnoxio......(who are my all time favorites in this group)... While I am a relative newbie to this Newsgroup (+/- 2 years), I've been an Informix DBA since 1989...... I kind of find it Vile that people don't look harder for direction. I mean, it's gott'a be harder to find this newsgroup and ask a question as a newbie than it is to open a book. C'mon people, I'm no Informix Rocket Scientist, but after the 10+ years I've been doing this, my first reaction is to RTFM... While I'll never be on par with the likes of those who answered above, I still struggle with the fact that the guy just had to read another page or two into the manual.... I mean, c'mon. what do you really need to get Informix to come up? PATH set? INFORMIXSERVER set? ONCONFIG set? SQLHOSTS set?(if not the default) ROOTPATH set?ARE Permissions on the devices set(raw or cooked)? (660 informix:infofrmix); How about you give a snapshot or two of the online.log? Have you tried once with the same SERVERNUM? Maybe you just have to ipcs........If you don't know ipcs, then change the SERVERNUM....the 'ol 0X5256 will remain with me throughout history..... Isn't there a FAQ for this group......? I believe there is. gdamn, it's in the first few chapters..........(sorry to those I've offended)...I read this newsgroup just to see what Art and 'The Clown' have to say......
