DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2

On Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.5 there is an issue with the "su" 
command that is used in the hadrV95_start.ksh scripts to 
determine the server status. If the command gets killed by 
db2V95_start.ksh script - that can execute in parallel - then 
the return code of the su command remains 0 (zero). 
For TSA this indicates a false "successfull" startup and a 
potential failover will not be performed. 
 
In Linux system log (/var/log/messages) you will see the 
following messages: 
 
Oct 15 16:14:08 lx252 db2V95_start.ksh[2176]: *************** 
Attempted to start partition db2inst1,0 and failed 
Oct 15 16:14:08 lx252 db2V95_start.ksh[2177]: Killing db2

Note: This has been addressed already partially in APAR IC72271, 
db2gcf does not get killed anymore by the db2V95_start.ksh 
script. Unfortunately, there are two places in the script, where 
kill -9 is called, but only one call was fixed. This APAR will 
address the second call as well.
