RE: Behaviour of oninit with ksh and csh

I think you have permission problem. the error you are getting usually happen because of setuid somewhere ("s" bit). Try to to start Informix as root in KSH and see if that works (this is just to confirm if it is what I said) Basim Chafik Senior Systems Analyst IBM Certified Advanced Technical Expert (CATE) 1.800.688.4895 basim.chafik@plx.com plexus (Division of BancTec) -----Original Message----- From: Navaid Arif [mailto:navaid.arif@access.net.pk] Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2007 8:26 AM To: ids@iiug.org; classics@iiug.org; peoplemix@iiug.org; informix-list@iiug.org; admin-tools@iiug.org Cc: Abdul Rehman Paracha (Mgr EFT Ops) Subject: Behaviour of oninit with ksh and csh Hi All, I have re-installed IDS-10 on my AIX 5.3 machine. IDS installed successfully but it is running in C-shell only and I need it in K-Shell. I have added LIBPATH variable recently because without adding this variable IDS was not running even on C-Shell. I will appreciate if somebody can help me. $ env _=/usr/bin/env LANG=en_USLOGIN=informix PATH=/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java14/jre/bin:/usr/java14/bin:/informix/ids10/bin:/informix/ids10:.
