It is hard to say what the problem is without more information. First you might want to take a look at the log file to see if there is any information there. You can find the name of the log file by typing svcs -l informix The symptoms seem to indicate that the informix script is not completing for some reason. You may want to try the ps and/or ptree commands to see if you can find any traces of the script. One thing I did notice is that the informix script is not using the official SMF exit codes as defined in /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh. I don't think this is the cause of your current problem, but it is probably something that you will want to fix going forward. tom
