Install Fixpack 7a and stop Db2fmd

I would like to install fixpack 7a and the instructions say to stop all DB2
processes. I can see the Fault Monitor (db2fmd) running and I (and also my
Unix Administrator) can not seem to stop it. It always just spawns another
process. We have tried the commands db2fmcu -d and db2fm -d - with no
success. These commands error out with some error message that complains
about some env variable. Can someone help?

go slap your admins and tell them that something like inittab exists on
their system. During DB2-Installation, the following line is added to
/etc/inittab (example from DB2 UDB Express on Linux):

fmc:2345:respawn:/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/bin/db2fmcd #DB2 Fault Monitor
Coordinator

so any time your admins kill the process, it is restarted automatically
which causes the effect described.

fmc:2345:off:/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/bin/db2fmcd #DB2 Fault Monitor Coordinator

and use "init q" to reinitialize the system.

Works on all known Linux Systems and should work similary or equal on
proprietary Unixes.

references: inittab(5)

regards,

Norbert
