bcheck in a Unix cron job produces error

Hello, We have SE v5.12 and ISQL/I4GL v4.12. I have set up a cron job in Unix to do a bcheck on all the files in the $DBPATH/[database-name].dbs directory at 3:00 AM Monday to Friday. The result is mailed to me. My problem is that the output includes the following line: ERROR: bad data record My questions are: 1. Does anyone know what causes this? I'm assuming it's a corrupt database but I checked the computer log if it had any power surges (it did not show in the UPS log). The computer is on 24hrs x 7days and was rebooted more than a month ago. But what I taught them to do now is to use kill -5 (not 9!) on the sqlexec process. (I remember I got this kill -5 from a person working at Home Depot in the USA) 2. Does anyone know how to fix this 'ERROR' besides typing bcheck -s [some-table-name] in the DBPATH directory? Pls. email or post. Thanks! John -- - J -
