Do these names make any sense to anyone: : : fglgo - I know it's got to do with 4GL. Is it 4GL interpreter? Yes. : lynxgo - I'm not even sure if this's Informix related proc. Perhaps they have the lynx character based web browser??? Otherwise no clue. : otlgo - No clue Same : sqlexec - I know in SE every session kicks off a sqlexec proc. : Does the engine itself fork off any sqlexec's? If not : what processes/daemons does the SE engine start? sqlexec is the "engine" of SE. There are no other processes/daemons. As you say it's automatically started whenever a program that needs it is executed. : isql - I know isql is Informix's character based report generator. : Any more info. ? acego is realy the character based report generator. isql I think stands for interactive sql and contains the functionality of dbaccess, but as far as I can remember can also display perform type screens and perhaps start ace reports. : :All help would be greatly appreciated. : :Thank you.
