The "-v" option is used to display messages that tells what the engine is doing when it is being brought up. It is used to aid when the engine will not come up correctly and we don't know what it was doing when the initialization failed. The error that you got indicates that the shared memory for the engine was already allocated. Basically that you were trying to start a second occurance of the same Informix instance. Madison Pruet
