AIX - "Waiting for the LWI nonstop profile to exit

Yes, most of us know we can <ctrl> C it on the way down, but if you are interested in disabling it completely: It is part of System Director which is not implemented much until AIX 7. To disable:

Comment out the following in inittab:

:platform_agent:2:once:/usr/bin/startsrc -s platform_agent >/dev/null 2>&1
:cimservices:2:once:/usr/bin/startsrc -s simsys >/dev/null 2>&1

  1. Arguably better than commenting the lines is to change "once" to "off". Perhaps cas_agent (the Command Agent component of System Director) should also be switched off?
