Re: Why Satan kills informix processes ?
Just a guess, but I'd bet it has to do with Informix programs
being owned by "Informix" but running as "root." The SUID
action probably violates one of Satan's security checks.
Be careful of killing (-9) Informix processes. It is possible
to cause problems if the target process is in a transaction.
