Box 3000, Boulder Colorado, 80307-3000 Make sure you do not run an Informix process (.4ge or .4gi) process straight from cron. Run a shell script that runs the informix process and also makesure you have in the shell scipt set INFORMIXDIR, PATH=$INFORMIXDIR/bin and TERM set. This should correct your problem....
