Lotus Notes 8.5 fails to start

Part I. I don't known why my lotus notes can't start up anymore.
My OS is RHEL 6 I check my process, I saw a program /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/taskldr /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/taskldr still running. After I kill this process, I can start  the lotus notes now.
Lesson learn: Some program depend on the other program and some program didn't tell you what's it depend on.

Part II. Today (5/29/2013) after Lotus Note 8.5 freeze, then I do an update. It just wouldn't start again. There is no process I can kill, I try Zap program many time. At the end, I just move the ~/lotus folder to ~/lotus.bak, and start lotus note 8.5 again. Now it like brand new, add note id file, then it work.
Lesson learn: Don't fight too hard for problem, sometime start over is most easy way to keep thing going.
