RE: kill informix sessions

Are you sure they disconnected from the database, or did they just disconnect from the application? It is possible that in your application, the users just disconnect from the application. But the application still has an open connection to the database. When you you end a database session (connection) the connection should also terminate. It is not standard practice to onmode -z or kill -9 something. Unless of course there is a problem with the connection or process.
