The " kill -9 pid " is too ugly for Informix's process in critical section. And for the first time we must to log on the remote site. The easiest way is to use the "telnet" utility. Issue something like this: telnet remote_server_name If you are trusted on the remote server you can spawn a remote shell : rsh remote_server_name After you log on the remote server define the pid of a hanging process and issue command onmode -z pidDon't use this command three times one after another ( gives the same effect as "kill -9" ). There are also some soft "kill" options like "kill -15 pid " (see man kill) which don't kill a process without warning. You can also shutdown the Informix ODS using the onmonitor utility as last chance. Good luck, Taras.
