Gary -

Daemon processes often employ lock or PID files, recording the
server's process ID in it, perhaps along with other info. ADSM and
TSM servers have always done so, partly to record the current server
instance, and partly to keep another instance from getting started.
Look for a adsmserv.lock text file in your server directory.
