The ISC is running on AIX.

The ISC install on AIX went fine, and the ISC works like a champ.
But it has shut down/crashed twice and had to be restarted; we
don't know why.

Havent' done the ISC on AIX before; where do I look for diagnostics
to see what is taking it down?

Wanda -

The AIX Error Log should provide detail on that.  In my general
experience, recorded software failures are almost all due to
Segmentation Faults, which result from programming errors, and should
be reported.  Sometimes, these can be circumvented by giving the
thing more resources: a lot of software is not well programmed for
"boundary conditions", and fails when it exhausts its memory
allocation, for example.  Depending upon what you find, you might try
boosting the Unix Resource Limits for that shell session and see if
that helps circumvent the problem.
