Whence cometh these log backups?

IDS 9.20 on HP-UX 11.0 A funny thing has started happening to three out of my four production servers. The Ops break continuous logging each night and do a level 0 archive. When they come to re-start the logging, it fails saying that a log backup is already in progress. And so it is! Tracing back from onstat -u it turns out that an onbar process is running. We do not use and never have used ohnbar. What is starting them up - any ideas? Below is an onstat -u; onstat -g ses and various ps commands that identify the backup process, in case anyone's interested. thanks Neil ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- informix@SElmsall $ onstat -u Informix Dynamic Server 2000 Version 9.20.FC2 -- On-Line -- Up 9 days 07:41:53 -- 300604 Kbytes Userthreads address flags sessid user tty wait tout locks nreads nwrites c00000006d95e028 ---P--D 1 informix - 0 0 0 2423 29286 c00000006d95e7c8 ---P--F 0 informix - 0 0 0 0 1170694 c00000006d95ef68 ---P--- 9 informix - 0 0 0 0 9888 c00000006d95f708 ---P--B 10 informix - 0 0 0 295 29766 c00000006d960648 ---P--D 14 informix - 0 0 0 0 0 c00000006d965a28 ------- 68806 root - 0 0 0 309 0 c00000006d9687e8 Y--P--M 68806 root - c000000071638ef8 0 0 0 0 7 active, 128 total, 49 maximum concurrent informix@SElmsall $ onstat -g ses 68806 Informix Dynamic Server 2000 Version 9.20.FC2 -- On-Line -- Up 9 days 07:42:09 -- 300604 Kbytes session #RSAM total used id user tty pid hostname threads memory memory 68806 root - 3978 archer 2 741376 707544 tid name rstcb flags curstk status 69088 ontape c00000006d9687e8 Y--P--M 65632 c00000006d9687e8cond wait(s m_read) 69089 logbacku c00000006d965a28 ------- 133128 c00000006d965a28sleeping(Fo rever) Memory pools count 1 name class addr totalsize freesize #allocfrag #freefrag 68806 V c00000006e23a040 741376 33832 124 28 name free used name free used overhead 0 3256 scb 0 144 opentable 0 5184 filetable 0 1888 log 0 4336 temprec 0 10104 keys 0 624 gentcb 0 2496 ostcb 0 3416 net 0 646600 sqscb 0 17568 rdahead 0 352 hashfiletab 0 1128 log_backup 0 1192 osenv 0 2480 sqtcb 0 6536 fragman 0 80 sapi 0 160 Sess SQL Current Iso Lock SQL ISAM F.E.
