Backup hanging

I have a backup that is just hanging - tape drive is idle, reads and writes are not going up: 3431c5ce8 ------- 5644203 root - 0 0 0 137996888 0 345c698e8 ------- 5644203 root - 0 0 0 0 119790 364e33248 Y-AP--M 5644203 root - 342420a38 0 0 3386 40 Onstat -g ses shows that it is waiting for something: Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.31.FD3 -- On-Line -- Up 41 days 01:13:16 -- 11826176 Kbytes session #RSAM total used id user tty pid hostname threads memory memory 5644203 root - 26211 mxsun 3 753664 623744 tid name rstcb flags curstk status 5674033 ontape 364e33248 Y-AP--M 4879 cond wait(netnorm) 5674036 arcbacku 3431c5ce8 ------- 3791 sleeping(secs: 1) 5674037 arcbacku 345c698e8 ------- 2879 sleeping(secs: 1) And Unix also shows that it is sleeping: truss -p 26211 *** SGID: rgid/egid/sgid = 1 / 200 / 200 *** read(0, 0x10033F714, 5120) (sleeping...) Any ideas ? My logs are not full, Informix is operational (no blocked checkpoints or long transactions) Dirk sending to informix-list

Are you running from a script?
