Bill,

I ran this past one of our server developers. I also tried the command
myself on a 6.2.1 server. Here is the server console log results:

ANR2017I Administrator STORMAN issued command: OL
ANR2000E Unknown command - OL.
ANR2017I Administrator STORMAN issued command: ROLLBACK
ANR2017I Administrator STORMAN issued command: OL stg=on
ANR2000E Unknown command - OL.
ANR2017I Administrator STORMAN issued command: ROLLBACK

So there is no such command. Whether something else happened on the line
that got into the command parser or if the hang occurred just as a matter
of coincidence we cannot say. If it is still in this state and doesn't
clear, and you are willing to open a PMR, then pursue a core file and we'll
take a look at it. If this was AIX, we'd also ask for a procstack a couple
times prior to the core file, but not sure if Linux has an equivalent to
this aix command.

Best regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
