Problem(Abstract)

online.log shows sessions getting killed (MCMD_KILL)

Symptom

You see messages in online.log. something similar to these:


    04:15:08  sid 2011976 username sanjju@linux12 pid 2566 terminated.
    04:15:08   killed(MCMD_KILL)

 

Cause

You will see such messages in online.log when someone kills session(s) either manually, or through some maintenance script, by running onmode -z.


Other scenarios where we can see these messages in online.log is when informix server kills sessions internally. Situations where server could be killing sessions internally are like, when the server is switching to a single user mode, or when it is shutting down.

Also, with newer version of Informix server (11.50.xC9, or 11.70.xC4 and higher versions) that supports Low Memory Management feature and has the feature enabled with a defined threshold, you can see sessions getting killed internally after the instance enters the defined threshold for low memory.

You can run 'onstat -g lmm' and review the output. This should list the sessions, if any were killed due to enabling of low memory management feature. For more information on this command, please check the link given in the "Related Information' section of this document.
