RIX - Remote Informix
=====================

ronstat - remote-onstat, executes onstat commands against any instance.
wotsup - one-line status (online, offline, quiescent, etc) for all instances.

Installing
----------

Please see INSTALL for installation instructions, but ...

	./configure
	make
	su -c "make install"

Running
-------

You'll need to add an entry in /etc/services for rix/tcp.

Start the server process on each machine, with:
	/usr/local/sbin/rixd rix.rix

where, rix.rix, is the config-file created by configure.

Try it out:
	ronstat <dbserver> -p


What does it do ?
-----------------

o	Allows you to run onstat commands against instances on remote hosts.

o	Allows you to run onstat commands when your environment is otherwise
	incorrect.

o	Allows you to specify permissions on a per instance/command/user@host
	basis. eg, you could allow developers to execute "onmode -z" without
	them needing to su to informix. Or stop people executing "onstat -z"'s
	willy-nilly.

What doesn't it do ?
--------------------

o	Run interactive commands - eg, ontape.

o	Work on M$-Windows.
