UNIX Subagent

When you install an Informix database server or coserver on UNIX, the installation procedure installs OnSNMP. OnSNMP consists of the onsnmp program.

Under normal circumstances, you do not need to start or stop OnSNMP explicitly. If you experience abnormal circumstances and need to start or stop OnSNMP explicitly, contact Technical Support. For contact information, refer to your IBM Informix: Installation Guide.

The following additional files are provide with the database server for SNMP support.

Program
Description
onsrvapd daemon
When you start an Informix database server or coserver that is on this workstation, onsrvapd detects this event and starts OnSNMP for the database server or coserver. When the database server or coserver halts, onsrvapd stops OnSNMP for that database server or coserver. See UNIX Server Discovery Process.
runsnmp.ksh script
This script starts onsrvapd. It also starts the master agent that is appropriate for the platform. If you want to run OnSNMP, you need to run runsnmp.ksh each time that you reboot. See The runsnmp.ksh Script.
