Informix tried to phase it out in favour of GUI based tools (look on the cd in the /clients directory). Of course the GUI based tools have limitations like they can't allocate raw disk space.. I mentioned this in c.d.i some months ago and people from here took up the complaint. Eventually the Informix International Users Group talked to Informix and onmonitor was reinstated. (This happening quickly like in a matterof a few weeks!). PS Guess what! I installed WGS on SCO Openserver 5.0.4 on Friday and guess what...no onmonitor!!
