Re: dbexport

The 'who' command cannot reveal actual users of Informix, because it is possible for some application program to 'log on' to Informix without appearing as a terminal user. The best tool to check if there is any Informix user (not Unix user) is to use 'tbstat -u' or (onstat -u for Dynmaic Server). If it shows users other than 'informix', then find out the application program that is still active and terminate them if possible (warn the users first, or do any necessary backup first). Good luck.
