Jeff, I think correct method is:
1. Shutdown database via gfix
2. Close all connections
3. Make shure they are really closed, look via netstat that no one
connection if in TIME WAIT state (it means garbage collection is in
process).
4. Stop inetd/xinetd.

Maybe for modern builds more simply way exists, but I have grievous
experience:
