are you sure you do not have any startscripts for tivoli identity manager in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d / /etc/rc.d/rc3.d ? It could come along as S99tivoli or S99TDS or similar - it usually comes across together with an application owned DB2 instance corresponding to contentmanager, websphere or similar IBM (gateway) applications. It could even be called from WAS or similar applications ... in any case it looks very much like an application process and not like anything that would correspond really to your inittab entry?

It has a PPID of 1.

After some research it appears to be IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Databases which can be uninstalled, however it's disappointing that I can't locate documentation on how to just stop it from starting at boot up.

Does the end of this page help you?

Help -

Please read the whole page to verify if this is what you need information on...

1. Using the DB2 instance owner credentials stop all the Monitoring Agent for DB2 processes. Run the following command:

Code:
<DB2_Directory>/itma/bin/itmcmd agent -o instance stop ud

where, <DB2_Directory> is the directory where DB2 copy of Tivoli Monitoring Agent is installed.

Note:
If multiple DB2 instances are being monitored then there can be multiple kuddb2 processes that need to be stopped.

2. On AIX and Linux® operating systems, uninstall Tivoli Monitoring Agent for DB2. Run the following command:

Code:
<DB2_Directory>/itma/bin/uninstall.sh REMOVE EVERYTHING

HTH, sorry if it is rubbish :-)

That's the same info I located and didn't have any luck with the stop command as the instance owner or root. I also used the manage command which opened a GUI where I could try to stop the service running - no luck either. So yes, I used the uninstall script to blow it away which worked. It was a non essential service that was likely bundled with the TDS installer and an oversight during installation steps.

Thanks everyone for your replies!
