Informix Engine not starting
My Informix 10.0 IDS is loaded on Suse Linux 9.0. Till yesterday it was
working satisfactorily. It was given a proper shutdown by onmode -ky as usual
& Shutdown -g0 -y to linux system. Today when I rebooted the Linux Server it
started. But on giving command oninit -v it displays the following

Kumar,
Sorry to hear about that.
Not sure if you are still down, but try with the af.file which is created. You
will get some clue, else email the file and I can take a look at it.

Hi,
Please post the last couple of lines of online.log and the head of the
af file. Maybe this gives a clue.
Looks like most of the startup is correct. The system crashes right
before going online.
