Ken,
The command that you used, "nv6000_smit stopall forceall" is intended to stop
all GUI interfaces and stop all netview daemons.
This is probably not what you want to do.

To just close ALL user interfaces issue the following command:
"nv6000_smit KILLEUIS"  note that KILLEUIS is all caps.
This will close all GUIs (EUIs) without stopping the daemons.

GUIs = Graphical User Interface
EUI = End User Interface (same thing)

Executing this command on the server will not close GUIs running
on the client machines. You must also execute it on each client.

It turns out the following command works well:

nv6000_smit stopall forceall

In fact the ovwexit command executed on a Netview client host from as an
rexec would not stop user GUIs.   Moreover, it hung up both the Netview
server and the Netview client hosts.  It turns out that the only way to
clear this up short of rebooting both server and client hosts was to issue
the command stopsrc -g nfs on the server host.
