 The infx CLI provides easy access to all the infx services from the command line. Each service provides its own complete environment, so you don't have to worry about environment settings such as PATH, INFORMIXSERVER, INFORMIXDIR or ONCONFIG. This makes it easy to use, and makes it easy to automate and schedule commands through cron or other third party tools.
shell environmentYou can run an infx service to set up your own shell login environment. This gives you the exact same preset environment that the other infx services run in. The environment is fully customizable with host wide settings as well as instance by instance settings.
The CLI either operates on your current Informix instance, or you can specify an alternate instance name on the command line to access any instance, anywhere.
Here is a command line example, showing how to start different infx instances.Start current Informix instance, from the INFORMIXSERVER variable
infx startStart a different instance, say infx02 instead: infx start infx02Start a different instance, say infx04 on a remote host named other. infx start infx04@otherIn the case above, infx uses ssh to securely execute the service on the "other" host.
