Stopping a queue manager manually on AIX and Linux

If you are unable to stop a queue manager on AIX® or Linux® by using the endmqm command, you can try to stop the queue manager manually by ending any processes that are running and stopping the IBM® MQ service.

1. Find the process identifiers (PIDs) of the queue manager programs that are still running by using the ps command.
   For example, if the queue manager is called QMNAME, use the following command:

   ps -ef | grep QMNAME
   

2. End any queue manager processes that are still running by using the kill command, specifying the PIDs discovered by using the ps command.
   To end a process, use either kill -KILL <pid> or the equivalent kill -9 <pid> command.

   You have to work through the PIDs you want to kill, one by one, issuing that command each time.

   Important: If you use any signal other than 9(SIGKILL) the process probably will not stop and you will get unpredictable results.

   End the processes in the following order:
