I have the sneaking suspicion that this is a dumb question and I might be having a brain fart...how do I track a PID back to the IP address for the user who is running the process? We have a general use account that lots of users rnu stuff with (I know its bad...we inherited it) and it would be nice to have a simple way of identifying who is doing what/when.
-thanks and sorry if its a dumb one
 
Not a dumb question. what flavor of Unix and how are the users connecting (telnet, through a client application, etc.)?
 
We are using AIX 4.3 currently. Communication access to the system is either a greenscreen term emulator, or when users are connecting to an informix database using OLEDB/ODBC depending on the app.
 
If the users you are concerned about are connecting through oledb/odbc, I'm not sure a Unix command will give you the info you need. I wonder if Informix keeps track of the connections and you could get the information from a table that Informix has?
