Re: oninit -i failure

Found the problem

I had $ONCONFIG=/opt/informix/etc/onconfig.
Should have been $ONCONFIG=onconfig

I'm trying to startup informix for the first time on a CentOS 4.5

ONCONFIG can only specify a simple filename with no path components.

I have no idea what is causing the error, and I have found nothing in
the docs about it.

Can any one help me out?
