What if you try changing the permissions on $INFORMIXDIR/etc from 755

onmonitor is having problems. Is the permissions on your other

Very odd. No change with 775.

Before I waste any more of your time, or my own for that matter, I'm
gonna backup the sqlhosts and onconfig from one of the $INFORMIXDIR's
tonight, and reinstall from scratch. I want to be 100% sure that this
wasn't caused by moving the INFORMIXDIR from one file system to
another. If it caused my moving INFORMIXDIR, I'll simply not do that
any longer, and just install Informix in as many file systems as its
needs to be.
Btw, the reason for that moving, is that we used to share INFORMIXDIR
between all the instances all a given box. But we don't do that any
longer: 1 instance, 1 INFORMIXDIR (on its own file system). So, I
figured I could just tar the files across from one file system to
another. I cd to the installed INFORMIXDIR, and do this command:

tar xf - .|(cd /dbms/newinformixfilesystem;tar xf -)

Then create new onconfig and sqlhosts. Which seems to work fine, for
the most part anyway. At least everything but onmonitor. :)

In case, thanks very much for your replies, and I'll post back when I
reinstall.
