Re: Windows NT + oninit

There are two ways to start the engine on NT (three if you count running "oninit"): starting it as a service or with the unsupported "starts" command. The "oninit" command still runs on NT as Sean explained, but that is certainly *not* the way users are intended to start the engine. It is unfortunate, IMHO, that the command runs on NT at all. Informix training has a new course on System Administration on NT with extensive hands-on exercises on using the registry and the IECC. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is an Informix DBA in the NT environment. There are also other courses available describing what a Unix DBA needs to know about NT, and also which parts of NT a Unix DBA should know.
