John, There's an APAR, IY24221, addressed in CSD03 that could be related to your problem. The APAR says 'endmqm could take several minutes to complete' but when I've experienced the problem it was a lot more than 'several' minutes. The way I've gotten around this particular issue in the past is kill all the amqcrsta processes at endmqm time, and the qmgr ends in a timely manner.

There are approx 500+ users connecting to this system using mq and after several weeks of operation shutdown of the queue manager becomes impossible using endmqm (with relevant parameters). Even kill -9 is unreliable, we are left with bouncing the box to clean up mq. We have tried manipulating the tcp paramters via "no" command however the problem persists, has anyone come accross this or know of a solution?
