Subject: oninit process

Hi all,

Again another question from my end regarding the oninit process. We
have around 20 - 40 processes in the Linux Environment, where some of
them have root as owner and rest as informix,

Is it possible that one process can have more than one owners?
If yes, please provide us with relavent information, so that I can
check with the Operating system people.

Awaiting for your information.

Thanks and regards,
