Try the following: Check to see if tbinit is running. Use the ipcs command (if you have it) to check that shared memory and semaphores are being used by your db process. Reinstall your tools and online software in the correct order (ie follow the order specified in the UNIX Products Installation book). You can check the ~informix/etc/.snfile to see the last order in which it was installed. Hope this helps. - Victor Tan
