Hi Art,
I have not heard from you, I went on to reboot the server, checked the
chunks are owned by user Informix group Informix, and have at least 660
permissions, and restarted the restore process. I got
ontape -r
Please mount tape 1 on /backups/informix_bu and press Return to continue ...

Subject: RE: Physical restore failed [19987]
Thank you, Art. I would not know any of the supervisor tasks would kill off
the ontape process. The average time from starting and completing the
physical restore about 1 hour and 40 minutes, but in this failure, the time
is about 1 hour and 18 minutes. I will run it with the time command to any
different progress.
Thanks again for your help.

Subject: Re: Physical restore failed [19984]
Is it possible that some supervisor task is killing off the ontape process
because it's running too long? Or that the window ontape was running in was
closed or the session otherwise logged out? Try running the ontape -r under
'time' (or 'timex' if you have that). The time utility uses the wait()
system call to determine some of the runtime values and if a signal was sent
to the child ontape task time should report that signal.
