Re: < oninit -i >"Fatal error in Shared memory"

Dave, As everyone else has said, check your log first. But also a good idea when you're not sure is < onstat - >. Sometimes this shows that something is actually there, but I trust not in your case. Anyway, last but not least, if you can, check to see if Informix has left segments in memory, using < ipcs >. If so, you'll need to remove them with < ipcrm >. Another annoying thing, at least with me, is sockets that are forever trying to dry up and will not let you initialise because "shared memory cannot bind to network", and you'll see this message also in your log file.
