I had the same problem with the exact same error message on my Linux box at home. You can do it automatically on startup by invoking this daemon from a startup script, or you could do it from the command line. If you send me an email at home (sujitpl@ibm.net), I can send you the startup script I use.

However if the engine which is referenced by $INFORMIXSERVER is down and I attempt to connect to the database listed by the DBPATH I get a -908. This also happens when using "dbaccess". What am I missing or is what I am trying to do impossible?
