Any help or suggestions >are hugely appreciated! To shutdown IDS, use onmode: onmode -kmsuy -k Shutdown completely -m Go to multi-user on-line -s Shutdown to single user -u Shutdown and kill all attached sessions -y Do not require confirmation So you might use onmode -ky if you wanted to shut the server down completely. To start IDS, use oninit with no parameters. However, I don't know how your server and backups are set up, are you using onbar for archiving Informix, or are you using Networker to backup the raw disk partitions (or something like that)? Why am I being so nice to you? It's all in the manuals at http://www.informix.com/answers/ :-) I know. It's Tiffany. I always was a sucker for a Tiffany... :-) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
