how can i stop an informix database

Hi There!! I am working on Informix V.5.04 on HP-UX V.10.20 platform, not very sure about Informix on Windows NT. Anyway, what you can do for Informix shutdown and startup from your backup script, 1. In your backup script define the following variables properly, INFORMIXSERVER INFORMIXDIR PATH ONCONGIF INFORMIXTERM 2. For shutdown your Informix, add the following commands before your backup start. $INFORMIXDIR/bin/onmode -ky sleep 15 3. And after your backup, add the following lines in your script, $INFORMIXDIR/bin/oninit sleep 15 *** One thing remember if you have any application on your Informix, you have to stop that application before you give shutdown your Informix. Similarly after start-up Informix you have to start your Informix based application also. Bye, Sanjit C. Calcutta. 4th May 1998.
