Seconded. If you're still having trouble - make sure UD is licensed. I think it shows up in the smm.log if it's not. UniAdmin or confprod will show if it is or not.
If it is licensed; have you installed new software recently? 5.1.27 is rather old so I'm assuming you've had it running for a while. We've had problems with another service (windows management something or other) that would grab one of the memory handles. However, it would allow UD to start on a reboot - but wouldn't let you stop and start it (without rebooting). I used tools from www.sysinternals.com to find the offending service. hth Colin Alfke Calgary Canada ________________________________ From:Bill Haskett Steve: You might want to check out: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/dm-0409terhune / It's pretty good. :-) Bill -----Original Message----- From: Christensen, Steve Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately getting the following when forcing the shutdown: Attach shared memory fail. stopud failed. The Unidata service cannot be stopped. Reboot does not fix the problem either.
