Hi again, folks.

I can run onstat -g ntd and get something like:

Client Type     Calls   Accepted   Rejected       Read      Write
sqlexec         yes       239551     150184  161200133  161090285
srvinfx         yes            0          0          0          0
onspace         yes            0          0          0          0
onlog           yes            0          0          0          0


....

listener        yes            0          0     239379      75102


...

Totals                    239551     150226  167745151  161247376

But this tells me only how busy the lister threads are, collectively.

When I run onstat -g glo I get information on all VPs but not something I can tie to a listener (or other) thread.  

Someone just showed my onstat -g ntt and had to spoon-feed me that the name of a listener thread is tlitcplst. But where are documented the names of each type of thread? That aside: I see from onstat -t ath that there are some threads named tlitcplst (presumed to be listener threads) and these are running under CPU-VPs:

Threads:
 tid     tcb              rstcb            prty status                vp-class       name

...

42       180c6dd30        0                2    sleeping forever        1cpu*        tlitcplst
43       180d35d30        0                2    sleeping forever        8cpu*        tlitcplst
44       17fed9870        0                2    sleeping forever        9cpu*        tlitcplst
45       180e8fd08        0                2    sleeping forever       10cpu*        tlitcplst
47       17ffbe050        0                2    sleeping forever       11cpu*        tlitcplst
49       18005e4e8        0                2    sleeping forever       12cpu*        tlitcplst
52       18014e050        0                2    sleeping forever       13cpu*        tlitcplst
55       180216788        0                2    sleeping forever       14cpu*        tlitcplst
62       18014eb60        0                2    sleeping forever       15cpu*        tlitcplst
69       18055e2f0        0                2    sleeping forever       16cpu*        tlitcplst

so this may be what I'm looking for.

Can someone confirm that these are indeed the listener threads I'm looking for?

Hi again, folks.

I think I can clarify my question rather than jumping "all over the place".  This boils down to a few questions:

1. How can I see all listener threads? I do believe they are buried in the haystack of onstat -g {ath|act} but I want to recognize a listener thread when I see one so I can grep for it.
2. For each listener thread, is there a way I can identify which port (==> server alias) it is listening on?
3. And once I have identified that, is there a way I can see how many requests it is currently servicing and how many are awaiting service?

That last one may be a netstat-related command outside of Informix, one that operates on the port (in /etc/services) but perhaps that knowledge is available in this vast sea of Informix lore.

We are trying to find out why a specific port is hanging while others, for other server aliases, are just fine.

Thank y'all for direction and light.
