How to restart a database?

Hi, I ran into a problem as mentioned below. Iam not able to bring the Informix server up. Can somebody help me out of this crisis. Problem I created a chunk for a particular tablespace. I associated a data file for the chunk in a particular directory. Later I found that this chunk had some problems. Since I was not able to drop this chunk using the onspaces utility, I went directly to the directory in which the chunk data file was there and deleted the file. Now I shutdown the machine using onmode -sy option and then in order to bring the server up, I used oninit -s. But oninit returned an error saying that it couldnt initialize the shared memory as one of the data files associated with the chunk is not found. This is the data file I deleted. I dont want this particular chunk, but I want to bring the Server up. Is there anyway to delete a chunk when the Informix is Shutdown. Anyother way to bring the server up without initialisation of segments. Thanks a lot, Prabu _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
