RE: Safe to kill sqlturbo process?

Francis: Yes, you should not use 'kill -9' to terminate a sqlturbo, as 'kill -9' = generate a SIGKILL signal, which is the only signal Informix can't trap. = =20 Try 'kill -5' or use 'tbmode -z pid' as other people said, and if it = doen't work, it means that the sqlturbo process is in the critical = section or is holding a latch. If you still want to terminate the server process, then you can try to = 'kill -5' its parent process, even a normal user can do that (if he is = the owner). This shouldn't bring the whole instance down. Sean Wong.
