Error description

• When using the "agent stop" command on Unix systems, the stop
  script will attempt to call the "netstat" command in order to
  log out messages. The netstat command attempts to resolve
  hostnames. On certain systems where this functionality is not
  available, the command will hang forever, requiring the user to
  manually kill the agent process in order to completely shut down
  the agent.
  
  As a workaround, remove this line from the "agent" script to
  allow the agent to shut down:
  
  netstat | grep tcp > $AGENT_HOME/var/log/netstat.out
