it looks like you get a core dump.... > /usr/informix/bin/onbar[84]: 22716 Memory fault try: onbar_d -b -w -L 0 and see if you get a coredump too. maybe it's kernel params related...???!!! dono; ask TS.

The memory fault happens after the onbar completes. I don't recall seeing this if onbar is called from the command line. This is rather annoying since my return codes gets set incorrectly in the script therefore I get an incorrect notification that the backup failed. The primary purpose of the script is to have the TSM scheduler call the script. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, the first place to look for more info would be the ON-Bar Activity Log file (BAR_ACT_LOG parameter in the ONCONFIG file). If there actually is a core dump, this can be analysed. Though that info is a bit arcane, i.e. suitable for Tech Support. Also, if the problem reproduces, it is possible to let ON-Bar write debug traces (setting BAR_DEBUG parameter in onconfig > 0, higher means more traces). This may then give a clue as to where what has happened.
