Error 139 in logical log backup

We are running ontape -c and often (but not always) get the following message in online.log: Process exited with return code 139: /bin/sh /bin/sh -c /home/informix _s/etc/log_full.sh 2 23 "Logical Log 8380 Complete." "Logical Log 8380 Complete From finderr, we are told to increase LOGSMAX; but this is set to 350 and we have only 106 log files. What happens ? Pierre Henrotay

As you can see below, we nearly have the same message,except for the return code: 23:53:36 Logical Log 8361 Complete. 23:53:36 Process exited with return code 1: /bin/sh /bin/sh -c /usr/informix/etc/log_full.sh 2 23 "Logical Log 8361 Complete." "Logical Log 8361 Complete. Since we also run Informix on NT, I looked in that online.log: 00:27:01 Logical Log 50670 Complete. 00:27:03 Logical Log 50670 - Backup Started 00:27:20 Logical Log 50670 - Backup Completed On the NT-server the ontape -c is running, the Unix-server has device /dev/null. So, I suppose that the Unix message is telling me that the BU of that logical log is finished. PS: we are running Informix on Unix for just over 2 weeks, so I'm just gessing!
