On UNIX systems, you can watch monitor output as queries are running.
For example, you could start the monitor using the following command:
iq utilities main into monitor_tab start monitor “-cache -interval 2 -file_suffix iqmon”
This command sends output to an ASCII file with the name dbname.conn#-[main|temp]-iqmon. So, for the database iqdemo, results would be sent to iqdemo.2-main-iqmon.
To watch results, issue the following command at the system prompt:
$ tail -f iqdemo.2-main-iqmon
