syntaxinfx service inst= host= fork= [ options ]
| option | description
| example | | service | name of the service to execute, required | status | | inst= | select instance environment to execute against | inst=infx01 | | host= | select host to execute service on | host=servera | | fork= | set to no for cli to wait until service completes | fork=no | | options | options as required on a service by service basis | mode=online |
You can omit the inst= before the instance name, and also shorten the host= parameter to h=. examplesExecute status service against your default instance, from $INFORMIXSERVER environment infx status
Execute status service against infx02 instance, instead of $INFORMIXSERVER environment infx status infx02
Execute status service against infx03 instance, on remote host servera, instead of local environment infx status infx03@servera
List infx instances on remote host servera. infx list h=servera
fork=noServices that potentially take longer than a few seconds to execute are automatically forked to a separate process and run in the background. For example, all backup and restore services operate like this.
If the service takes more than a few seconds to complete, the service will return with a message that it is continuing in background. You can track this process using the infx follow command.
If you require a command to complete before returning, specify fork=no. The service will wait until the command completes, and then exit with the services status.
Example: execute the backup, wait until it completes, exit with success/failure of the backup.
infx backup type=logs fork=no
