You do *not* need to be informix to do it. That does assume that the permissions on the files are set correctly (and not NFS-mounted via a mount that prohibits SUID programs, for example). However, someone suggested the su informix -c "command and args" trick. Someone else supplied some scripts. And there should be code in the IIUG Software Archive that can be adapted to HP-UX (eg my Informix Utilities package, utils_jl, files ius.rc and ods.rc). You should be able to get going now. -- Yours, Jonathan Leffler (Jonathan.Leffler@Informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- http://www.perl.com/CPAN "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!"
