RE: Multiple instances

I tried this on our server, 7.23, HP-UX 10.20, where we have three instances running. It gave me information for five instances - two of which are old and not used anymore. I'm not sure where it is pulling the information from - maybe something in /informix/etc?

If one of the informix instance is down, it becomes bit difficult to see which onconfig is not up because if you see ps -ef | grep oninit , you see only the number of oninit process and you do not see the name of the onconfig associatd with that.ie, informix 22299 22298 0 17:24:19 ? 0:18 oninit -v informix 22305 22298 0 17:24:25 ? 2:57 oninit -v informix 22303 22298 0 17:24:22 ? 0:03 oninit -v informix 22304 22298 0 17:24:23 ? 0:49 oninit -v informix 22300 22298 0 17:24:19 ? 0:04 oninit -v informix 22298 1 0 17:24:18 ? 18:25 oninit -v informix 22301 22298 0 17:24:20 ? 0:05 oninit -v informix 22302 22298 0 17:24:21 ? 0:58 oninit -v So you need to set ONCONFIG and INFORMIXSERVER parameter and see which instance is down. I remember in Oracle you have the instance name also associated with the process. Is there any way we can do it in informix also so that just by looking at the ps -ef output you know which onconfig is down.
