You can ask your system administrator to modify the system startup script (Preparing the Startup and Shutdown Scripts) so that each of your database server instances starts whenever the computer is rebooted (for example, after a power failure).
The startup script for a single database server instance should set the INFORMIXDIR, PATH, ONCONFIG, and INFORMIXSERVER environment variables and then execute oninit. To start a second instance of a database server, change the ONCONFIG and INFORMIXSERVER environment variables to point to the configuration file for the second database server and then execute oninit again. Do not change INFORMIXDIR or PATH.
Similarly, you can ask the system administrator to modify the shutdown script so that all instances of a database server shut down in a graceful manner.
