Check onbar process

Hi! We are facing a problem saving our logical logs using log_full.sh. Some of our production systems run Informix 7.24, others 7.31. We use the following line, to check whether a logical log backup runs already (starting onbar -l twice leads occasionally to a hang of the first onbar): ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep 'onbar.* -l' Now we suspect, that the normal backup process (onbar -b -L 0) in 7.31 starts an own logical log backup, which we can´t find with this method (and it prevents the normal onbar -l) from running. A trivial solution would be to check for ´onbar´, but it applys only to 7.31. Have anybody an idea, how can we do better this check? Maybe a systable or something else? Our platform is SINIX-Y 5.43 C2003 Sorry for my poor english. best regards Gabor
