I've just had the same problem with a D220 and informix 7.24... It was actually a memory module which was out of order. In my case, the ipcs command was hanging, too... So you should run some diagnostics on your box. A little tip to go faster: strings /var/stm/logs/os/memlog|wc -l strings /var/stm/logs/os/memlog|sort -u|wc -l If the numbers differ, then you have some log entries, and BTW a problem with a memory module. Hope this helps. Val -- Valery Fouques mailto:valery.fouques@wanadoo.fr SYSADMIN GOSPORT-FRANCE /\\oO/\\ _ __/| \\`O.o' http://perso.wanadoo.fr/valeryf =(_ _)= U
