UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I'm just after finding a file resding in my temporary directory(/tmp) on my machine called 'i-spy'

This file is owned by root and ordinary muppets like me cant delete it, open or even do a more or cat on it. I'm running Solaris 2.6 on a Sun Ultra 5.

Can anyone out there give me a good explanation as to what i-spy is and how it works?

Thanks!

i-Spy is a smart data warehouse monitoring and optimization tool designed for IBM Informix databases. i-Spy helps warehouse administrators and architects increase the business value of enterprise data warehouses through enhanced utilization efficiency, design improvements, and lower maintenance costs.

Informix I-Spy runs on HP-UX and SunOS (Solaris).

Related to SQL Family, im sure your Sys Admin running SQL Database on the server as i-spy is one of the component for both Informix and SQL.
