But my machine setup is not > all that common. This is not a valid assumption. If I run this command I see multiple versions in multiple directories (INFORMIXDIR). MY assumption was that this info came from /INFORMIXTMP. The INFORMIXDIR values for example are stored in /INFORMIXTMP/.infxdirs. Instance details can them be found in the $INFORMIXDIR/etc/.conf* & $INFORMIXDIR/etc/.infos* files. > Also, just in passing, if I'd had my 5.08 OnLine or the > 4.12 OnLine running, there wouldn't have been an onstat (use tbstat), and > the '-g' option would be supported. UNsupported. Yes, also if my assumption is correct, no version 5 info would be stored in /INFORMIXTMP either.
