With both SEv5 and OLv7.2, we routinely have had sqlexec connections/threads more than 50% in excess of our 'user licenses' (because our menu 'driver' application is also under Informix). The number of unix users, however, hasn't yet reached this limit. I would imagine "unix users using informix" (unique ttys in onstat -u) as a possible measure. ---------------------- Rudy Fernandes GIC, Kuwait OL 7.20, 4Gl 6.04 ----------------------
