You may write a program, which sends for example SIGHUP to ANY process (not only to YOUR ones), but I do not know exactly, what tbmode does .. seems to me it is other principle then sending signals.. But even in case you write such application, which fake informix rights - how can you make it can not be applied on EVERY sqlturbo, not only on the "wanted" one ? I do not see other way than informix password - and informix responsibility .....
