No help there errno 5 is the dreaded generic "I/O error". Anyway there are three problems here: The first problem (at 14:43:33) looks like a failure of a pipe connection. This is either a bug or someone/something destroyed a pipe connection. The second problem at 14:34:34 the invokation of the alarm program failed because ALARMPROGRAM was set to "/dev/null". If you want no alarm program just leave the parameter blank: ALARMPROGRAM # No program wanted The third problem on the last line indicates either 1) a partially failed install, 2) a tool (esql or 4GL) was installed after the engine and was an earlier version, or 3) some joker at Informix forgot to submit his error message for inclusion in the released message file. Number 2 is most likely, remember the "Rule of TEN" install Tools then Engines, then (in versions prior to 6.00) Network components. Since networking is now included in all 7.xx engines maybe this should become the "Rule of TE"? Naw! Art S. Kagel
