how to safely bring down db2 before rebooting the server.

AFAIK the proper method is to make sure that you kill/drop all sessions, applications and users by using DB2 TERMINATE / DB2 FORCE APPLICATION ALL
then stop databases with DB2STOP.
If on Windows terminate DB2 services
then stop instance with DB2STOP
But I'm only familiar with Windows installations and it's a while back now...

Thanks Ties. That seemed to work. It was a windows installation. I was afraid I might have database corruption because my client would hang whenever I tried to drop a specific table. But after rebooting the server, it seems to be working fine.
