Can't start DB2 client service on SUSE as root

[b***@assurant.com]

Problem: We need to start the DB2 profile when booting as root for another process to use.

this is the section that was put into .bashrc file of the user that the process runs on.

if [ -f /home/db2inst2/sqllib/db2profile ]; then
. /home/db2inst2/sqllib/db2profile
fi

I have tried running the db2profile as root, and this does not work. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I would "su" to the DB2 instance owner (db2inst2) and start DB2 that way:

su -l db2inst2 -c "db2start"
