Re: Informix logfiles truncating

The engine has to be brought up with LTAPEDEV set to /dev/null. If you just change LTAPEDEV in onconfig or onmonitor it does mark the logs as backed up. If you bounce with LTAPEDEV set to /dev/null logs are marked as backed up.

No; that's the advantage of /dev/null (or NUL on NT). All my toy systems (meaning all my OnLine instances) run with LTAPEDEV to /dev/null so I don't have to worry about this. -- Yours, Jonathan Leffler (Jonathan.Leffler@Informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- http://www.perl.com/CPAN "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!"
