I suppose this could depend on whether or not it has actually found any inconsistencies. Presumably you are running an audit DB because you do have problems anyway, so stopping it wouldn't be in your best interest.
Anyway I am fortunate enough to have a test environment with a very small DB. I have tried running an auditdb fix=yes and ctrl-C it and it ignores it. Doing a straight kill is also ignored. The only way of stopping it was to do a kill -9.... I started TSM up afterwards and it did start with no errors.... BUT (and this is a very big but!!!!) the database had no problems before I ran the auditdb. (fyi - AIX 4.3.3 and TSM 5.1.7.2) I am guessing that your audit is taking far longer than anticipated and that you need to get TSM up and running again asap. If the auditdb was a suggestion from IBM support then your safest and probably only plan of action is to liase with them and inform them of your predicament and any findings (inconsistences) of the auditdb so far and see how they suggest to proceed, failure to do so could leave you in hope that your database recovery technique is well tested and proven! However you proceed, all the best.
