Re: cleanly shutting down sqlexecd for Informix SE on Linux

Jack Avenevoli pleaded: %Hello all, %Just one quick question for anyone who is/has been running %the Informix SE engine on Linux. The docs that I have (.pdf files from %informix) %tells how to start up the engine, but not how to cleanly shut it down, %altho' %the docs do say never to do a kill -9 on the sqlexecd daemon. Jonathan Leffler's reply was far more lucid and cogent than anything I might be able to compose. %Any help on this, even a pointer to what documentation I could find %this in would be most appreciated.
