Make a note of the current file ownership/group/permissions. As root, delete the file. As root, copy the new file in and set its permissions to the original values.
You could then do an slibclean from root, or recycle the box, or something ,to ensure that these latest libraries are picked up... you may have guessed I'm not an AIX guru... but this will get around your problem.

There is a HIPER fix out called IY43610 that I am trying to apply on AIX 4.3.3 running WMQ 5.3 CSD03. I stopped the queue managers and used ipcrm and slibclean before trying to copy the files. I was able to move 6 of the files (logged in as root), but I can't get 2 of them to copy. cp: ./libimqb23ia_r.a: Cannot open or remove a file containing a running program. cp: ./libimqs23ia_r.a: Cannot open or remove a file containing a running program. Does anyone have any idea why these files are still being used or if there is a tool or process that I can use to figure it out? Thanks for any advice in advance, Brian M.
