I was killing an ontape process and picked up the incorrect process id (
parent id ). I ended up killing an informix process. Now when I try to bring
up informix i get the following error ...

Please help !!!

Ignore this. I rebooted the box. It seemed to fix the problem.

Yes, it would do.
Have a look at the interprocess communication utilities ipcs and ipcrm for
next time.

Is that course booked yet, by the way ....?

Yes. I booked an online or CBT course. Its 64 hours for 1500$. Seems
reasonable. If you need details for yourself, let me know. I can forward
those.

Is this the CBT course that is free with the CDROM included with Joe
Lumbley's
Informix DBA Surval Guide ( $37.00 from most good bookshops) ?

I just happen to have a copy for $20.00 :-)
