The stopServer.sh or administrative console stop server command hangs and creates a Java core dump (Red Hat Linux)

When you run the stopServer.sh script on Red Hat Linux Advanced Server V2.1 with the latest operating system patches, it creates a Java core dump and hangs the terminal. To fix this problem:

  • kill all Java and MQ processes

  • uninstall the latest version of GNU Standard C++ Library

    • run the command rpm -e --nodeps libstdc++-2.96-116.7.2

  • Reinstall the older version from Redhat Advanced Server V2.1 CD

    • run the command rpm -ihv libstdc++-2.96-108.1.rpm
