Yeah, I tried just kill and then kill -2 (someone from IBM told me to try that on something - can't remember what) first, with no results.
I will try -11 next time. From: Richard Sims <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 10/19/2009 02:24 PM Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Will db2sysc ever calm down?

Restarted it. Don't know if you did so, but always reserve 'kill -9' for a last resort, as SIGKILL cannot be intercepted and handled by a process so as to allow it to log diagnostic information, flush buffers, and shut down relatively cleanly. Doing a 'kill -11' has been the preferred method, per the historic Problem Determination Guide. SIGKILL has the potential to result in damage. Richard Sims
