Maybe run oninit thru trace or strace , which shows all system level
commands including file names and libraries which the process tries to open

We had Sun fail the other day (OK I unplugged the wrong server), the
ls on /etc/passwd said it was there but cat /etc/passwd said it
wasn't - very infuriating

Installed IDS 9.4 on RH 7, configured, brought it up, linked it into the
sqlhosts on other machines. All was well. Then the blackout (test
instance on my terminal PC, no UPS). Trying to restart the instance
yesterday it failed with:
Cannot find message file. Check INFORMIXDIR and DBLANG
INFORMIXDIR is correct and exported, DBLANG is not set and it was not set
originally. I've tried setting it to "en_us" and "en_US" to the value of
$LANG (en_US.iso885915). Tried to unset LANG. All fail.
Haven't seen this one before. Probably simple. Any ideas?
