We have Informix SE 4.0 running on a Sun SPARC. and we have had similar problems with fglgo. We have a large number of users who run application programs from their local machines, but the program essentially is running on a server remotely. When users kill the window in the middle of a query or a report, the sqlexec dies but the fglgo starts eating the cpu and remains forever unless we kill it. -fenil >In response to gaukur@rhi.hi.is whose fglgo eats cpu: >We have similar problem frequently on our Unisys 5000, runniing sql SE 2.10G >where a user is running a report script which is waitng for input from the >terminal (accepting input before running the report).
