RE: Shared memory issue

I desperately need help on this issue. Here is more information: We are using Informix 7.23uc3 in Sun Solarus 2.5.1. We have script to run everynight to shutdown Informix and bring up with different configuration. The script is like this: onmode -kysleep 15 ONCONFIG=onconfig.prd2export ONCONFIG oninit The same script was running fine for last two years. There are no memory change and no configuration file change. But suddenly we got error as "out of shared memory" once everyweek and the DB didn't not come back. I check the shared memory with "ipcs" command and didn't see anything there. But when I tried to bring it up manually, I got the same error. After the SA rebooted the machine, all the memory reclaimed back but the DB crashed. Informix engineer dialed-in and could not bring the system up. I had to restore from backup tape everytime which took 10 hours. The database is about 300GB total now. We just added 120GB. What possible went wrong with this situation? Please reply to wangj@amtrak.com Thanks.
