Why the tbmode -ky doesn't > work is the reason that this post exists. Do an "ipcs". If Informix is in Shared Memory, remove it with "ipcrm -m <memory id>" option.

To remove the semaphores, do an "ipcrm -s <semaphore id>". ############################################################## David Nguyen Internet: davidn@geis.geis.com GE Information Services UUCP: uunet!ge!davidn 401 North Washington Street Voice: 1-301-340-5461 Rockville, MD 20850 USA ##############################################################
