Agent autostart entries remain after instances are removed using the itmcmd manage tool on UNIX and Linux. These entries are used by the operating system to automatically start and stop agent instances at system startup and shutdown. These should be removed when an agent instance is removed. For example, on Linux one would still see the following lines in the /etc/ITMAgents<n> files after a DB2 agent instance has been removed: /bin/su - root -c "/bin/ksh -c '/opt/IBM/ITM/bin/itmcmd agent -o db2inst1 start ud >/dev/null 2>&1'" /bin/su - root -c "/bin/ksh -c '/opt/IBM/ITM/bin/itmcmd agent -o db2inst1 stop ud >/dev/null 2>&1'"
Problem conclusion
The agent instances are now correctly removed from the autostart files on UNIX and Linux. Problem Conclusion: The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenancepackages | fix pack | 6.2.3-TIV-ITM-FP0005
Temporary fix
After removing the instance, invoke CANDLEHOME/bin/UpdateAutoRun.sh to remove the agent instances from the autostart files.
