It is a court order issued by the judge when you don't show up for a civil court date. The sheriff or court officer then finds you and takes you into custody and brings you immediately before the judge. In effect it is similar to a warrant for your arrest.

Order to show cause and writ of body attachment how are they related?

An order to show cause is an order by the court requesting the party to show why it should not be held in contempt of court for failure to show to a prior proceeding. If the party does not respond to the order to show cause, the court can issue a writ of body attachment. A writ of body attachment works like a warrant, and allows the sheriff to haul the person to court or jail for failure to appear, often requiring bond before release. If you get an order to show cause, show up to avoid possible jail time and bond costs. See: http://www.19thcircuitcourt.state.il.us/rules/rules15.htm#1505
