Autostarting Informix on HPUX
Does anyone know how to start Informix automatically on a HPUX system. I know how to write the startup scripts for HPUX, but with Informix you need the UID to be informix. During startup root tries to run the script. I even tried to set the UID bit to be informix without success. DJS
Hi Dennis. Try to use "su informix -c 'onint ' " in your startup script. Good luck. Sergey.

I'm using the following script (/sbin/init.d/informix). Shells
(startup.sh/shutdown.sh) are required to start/stop onprobe etc.
Hope this helps,
Sergey
