infx and onstat testing

I have been independently developing the infx management suite and the testing has gotten to the point where I need some help.

Specifically, what I need is test data, output from Informix onstat commands, message logs and onconfig files.

I am hoping there are people out there who can run some commands on their system, and then send me the output.

How to: Quickly access Informix onstat and onconfig information

Do you frequently find yourself needing quick access to simple information about your Informix instance? Info such as onconfig variables or other parameters?

While you can create templates with infx to specify the information you need, that is overkill when you just want to know something simple, such as the instance server number.

To fill this need, the infx status service has a simple interface that allows ad hoc access to the full details of the onstat parser library.

Lets take the instance server number as an example:

demo1@bobii:/home/informix>infx status vars=onconfig_servernum
