Help with onstat -g ses

Posted in 2000

Summary

Scott Andrews asked what a PID of -1 means in onstat -g ses. William Rice had only seen 0 for non-Unix clients. David Williams guessed -1 marks internal threads. B. Dana said -1 means Informix could not determine the PID on the remote system, which in their case meant NT. Answers differed; no authoritative confirmation.

When I do an onstat -g ses, I see a -1 in the PID column for some of the connections. What does the -1 mean? -- Scott A Andrews Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

A -1 proces id indicates that Informix was unable to determine the PID on the remote system. In our case it means NT.
