DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2

The db2V10_start.ksh script might loop infinitely in 
activateDatabase function  in following while loop: 
 
 while [ $deact -eq 1 ]; 
     do 
         : 
         su - ${DB2INSTANCE?} -c "db2 activate database ${db?}" 
& 
        log info "su - ${DB2INSTANCE?} -c db2 activate database 
${db?}" 
         sleep 5 
        deact=$(su - ${DB2INSTANCE?} -c "db2pd -db ${db?}" | 
grep "not activated" | wc -l) 
      done 
 
It might happen that  loop forever in case the database is 
cataloged  remotely. The reason is that the script is using 
'Database name' in the activation command and it will not work 
for  remotely cataloged databases
