secleanup not working

I'm attempting to run secleanup to remove dead sqlexec sessions. when I run the command as root i get the error (se below). my informix environment is configured and $INFORMIXDIR/bin is in my path. The only caveat might be that i'm running 7.25.UC1 of standard-engine. what am I doing wrong?

You state "...i'm running 7.25.UC1" yet the output states "INFORMIX-SQL Version 7.25.UC3" which is it I wonder? 3. You have not shown the ouput from "id" or "whoami" Are you root? Really? 4. You have not stated what O/S this is. Oh well ...

i'm running informix-se on linux UC1. secleanup version stated UC3 because i downlaoded/extracted it from iiug.org which had the lastest version. i did run it as root. (that's why the username isn't displayed). i copied secleanup to /usr/informix/bin and got the same error. here's the output again. everything works but secleanup. thx, dbuser@arcdev1:/usr/informix/bin$ uname -a Linux arcdev1 2.4.24 #3 Wed Mar 10 10:22:13 EST 2004 i686 unknown dbuser@arcdev1:/usr/informix/bin$ dbaccess -v DB-Access Version 7.25.UC1 Software Serial Number ACN#J334914 dbuser@arcdev1:/usr/informix/bin$ su Password: arcdev1:/usr/informix/bin# id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) arcdev1:/usr/informix/bin# ./secleanup SECLEANUP: Engine Process Cleanup and Synchronisation Utility INFORMIX-SQL Version 7.25.UC3 Copyright (C) 1981-1997 Informix Software, Inc.
