    accessdb
    Absolute path to 'accessdb' is '/usr/sbin/accessdb', so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root).


    That appears to be the wrong accessdb.

    The one you want is in $II_SYSTEM/ingres/bin, and does not need root privs. (It's actually a shellscript that runs ingcntrl -m

    Hi Rich,

    In my experience, accessdb is found in the Ingres installation directory.

    $ echo $II_SYSTEM
    /home/ingres/IngresII
    $ ls -l /home/ingres/IngresII/ingres/bin/accessdb
    -rwxr-xr-x. 1 ingres ingres 299 Apr  9  2019 /home/ingres/IngresII/ingres/bin/accessdb
    $ echo $PATH /home/ingres/IngresII/ingres/bin:/home/ingres/IngresII/ingres/utility:/home/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/utils:/home/ingres/.local/bin:/home/ingres/bin
    $

    It is usually run by the installation owner Ingres or by any user with
    as DBA security permissions.
