Re: How to start Informix online at boot time?
Do not need to su : you can launch online as root from the inittab. Just
create a script witch sets the appropriate variables correctly, like
this one :
#!/bin/ksh
#
# Procedure de lancement des systemes online au startup
# et backup des log en continue sur fichier disque

export INFORMIXDIR=/usr/dsa
export PATH=$INFORMIXDIR/bin:$PATH
export ONCONFIG=onconfig.p1
export INFORMIXSERVER=dsap1
oninit
sleep 30 # wait 30 seconds (end of fast recovery) before running
the logical logscontinous backup
$INFORMIXDIR/start.savelog # launches continuous backup (ontape -c) in
background for logical logs
Hope this helps
