You didn't mention what your OS is, but it appears to be either a UNIX or Linux flavor. Assuming that is true: Check your Kernel for low values for these process control Kernel parameters (or the equivalents): nproc, maxusers, maxuprc, ncallout Also check all of your semaphore kernel parameters. Informix likes to have lots of semaphore structures available. My current Kernels all have 4096 semaphores configured. --EEM > > -- > Bye now, > Obnoxio > > Information within this post contains forward looking statements within > the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21B > of the S E C Act of 1934.
