Thanks. I am told by Actian Support that Management Server and thus Director is not available for Solaris SPARC. Probably makes sense; my understanding is there are very few customers running Ingres on Solaris SPARC.

I see the ingstatus script greps the config file, like you indicated, to determine if Management Server is installed.

If Management Server is not running, the script will only print something if it's installed. I guess that makes sense.

Thanks
