Not sure what you mean by "console session".  I use TSMManager and issue
the halt via it's console/monitor window, if that is what you are referring
to - and yes, it shows the halt is issued and then the server goes
non-responsive, as suspected.  Then from ssh/Linux the process dsmserv
never halts/stops.
