One of the enhancements of 7.3 was to improve the way that nsr_shutdown runs.  
I haven't investigated to see exactly how it works, but previous versions 
simply do something along the lines of:

kill <nsrd PID>

9 times, with 

kill -9 nsr*

on the 10th attempt.  Or something like that - this isn't researched at this 
point.

If the kill -9 from the nsr_shutdown script fails originally, then the process 
is stuck in a hardware call.  Run truss/lsof (from www.sunfreeware.com) against 
nsrd and see what it's waiting for - it's possibly nsrjb (which isn't killed by 
default - okay, forget the kill nsr*) or more likely nsrindexd or nsrmmdbd, 
which are busy doing .... something else.  Run truss/lsof against them and see 
what they're waiting for, etc.

Cheers,

Stuart.

stuart,

have replaced the networker start/stop script with another one but nothing
changed.
the shutdown script does not successfuly complete always.

if kill -9 working on this version why the processes are not killing because
they are killing while i send the kill command.
and  what is the procedure  of  shutdown script on other networker versions.

thank you.
