onstat

Hi all. I was told by our DBA that onstat has different exit codes depending on the engine's mode (or mood). So, if I test $result (in C shell) or $? (Bourne / Korn shell), I should get a numeric value. My tests show 1=Quiescent, 5=On-Line. Does anyone know what these values are ? And yes, I tried to RTFM. Thanks in advance, Bogdan Neagu

Your tests are correct. I haven't got the book in front of me but they range from 1 to 5 to show states like quiescent, recovering, online, etc etc Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
