I ran ps -ef on one of our systems and saw an Informix owned process running a program called savegrp, can someone shed some light on what it is and when it gets executed? Thanks in advance Regards Colin Dawson sending to informix-list

The savegrp command runs a group of ISM clients through the process of saving their filesystems (using save). Another way to start a save group is to execute the ism_catalog command or the onbar script that includes the ism_catalog command. I hope this is of some help. -- June Hunt
