So, back in October, you shut the server down. You've not attempted to
restart it since then?

Or what did you do between 2009-10-28 and 2009-11-15 that would make
things fail?

Basically, it appears that your (archaic) version of IDS is not
attempting to use the online log file you showed us. This suggests that
perhaps someone has changed the environment in ways you don't expect.

Certain releases of IDS would not write to the online log if you started it as 'root'.  Have you tried starting it as 'informix'?

touch a new file both as informix and root in the directory for the
online.log file to make sure informix and root can both create new
files in
that directory.

Shut the server down, rename the online.log file to something else and
start the server again, this time start the server with
oninit -vy
