While doing some changes to the onconfig file I noticed that the SHMNOACCESS parameter is set to what seems to be garbage text: RESIDENT 1 SHMBASE 0x44000000 SHMVIRTSIZE 1000000 SHMADD 524000 EXTSHMADD 8192 SHMTOTAL 0 SHMVIRT_ALLOCSEG 0.000000 SHMNOACCESS ^\\û·¿<96>ü·¿Øú·¿^V"^T^H^\\þ·¿ ú·¿ The server seems to be operating normally and I see no errors or warnings related to that parameter. Any idea how that got there? Docs say it should be hexadecimal values/rages.

Just a guess. What's the hex value for that string? > From: brenddie@gmail.com > Subject: garbage text in SHMNOACCESS parameter > Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:46:16 -0800 > To: informix-list@iiug.org > > While doing some changes to the onconfig file I noticed that the > SHMNOACCESS parameter is set to what seems to be garbage text: > > RESIDENT 1 > SHMBASE 0x44000000 > SHMVIRTSIZE 1000000 > SHMADD 524000 > EXTSHMADD 8192 > SHMTOTAL 0 > SHMVIRT_ALLOCSEG 0.000000 > SHMNOACCESS ^\\û·¿<96>ü·¿Øú·¿^V"^T^H^\\þ·¿ ú·¿> > The server seems to be operating normally and I see no errors or > warnings related to that parameter. > Any idea how that got there? > Docs say it should be hexadecimal values/rages. > > IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 11.50.UC5WE -- On-Line -- Up > 00:09:04 -- 1684380 Kbytes > > Linux xxx.xxxxxx.com 2.6.18-120.el5PAE #1 SMP Fri Oct 17 18:17:11 EDT> 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux > _______________________________________________ > Informix-list mailing list > Informix-list@iiug.org > http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390710/direct/01/
