SQL6036N START or STOP DATABASE MANAGER command is already in
progress.
$


Is there any way I can fix this without restarting the OS. I am
running DB2 UDB 8.1 on AIX box?

ans:
Well ... you can either open up a support incident or if you want to
proceed at your own risk ... try using the db2stop force command and if
all else fails, db2_kill. Sounds like the previous stop is hung.
