Determining non-default IDS instal location

Hello, What's the best way to find where IDS is installed on a non-windows system if IDS isn't installed in the default install location? Short of grepping the system for oninit, is there any means of figuring out where Informix is installed? Thanks, Emile. -----------/

Search the startup files in /etc/rc* or /etc/init.d? Use find: find / -name oninit -print Art Art S.

If you log in as informix the INFORMIXDIR environment variable MAY be set. This points to a directory where informix software is installed.
