No, Benji, there is not record kept of what session executed the onmode to
shutdown the instance.
Depending on your server configuration, check the logs, who logged in that period with user informis or did su - informix, if selinux is enabled, check /var/log/audit/audit.log or use ausearch, or any other available useful logs..or contact your system administrator to do an audit regarding this.
