And just how do you do that?? I did a search in the manuals (Admin
Guide, Admin Ref, Perf Guide) for "DBSA" and came up with nothing.
Actually, I think that this is a great idea for a *production*
environment, but our developers are complaining about not being able to
see the 'onstat -g ses' info on their dev/test boxes, and I think that
their complaints are valid.
I hope that the answer is *NOT* to give them sudo to 'informix' -- I
really don't want to go that far.
