Re: Can oninit be run from a shell?

Valery Fouques (valou@hotmail.com): }X-Informix-List-Id: <news.36494> } }There is one solution for what you want: }Change ouy shell's owner and group to informix:informix }and issue a chmod +s on your shell (sticky bit). }Then, anyone executing your shell will be given informix's identity (and }will have the rights to execute oninit...) Valery, That is not a solution -- it is a catastrophe waiting to happen! You must, must, MUST, control who can do what with the informix login. Otherwise, anybody can take the OnLine system off-line at any time, or delete swathes of data, or otherwise completely break the system.
