Is your listener running to begin with? If your listener is
already stopped, then attempting to stop it again will give
you a message such as the one above.

If you gave your listener a name other than the default of
LISTENER, then you'll need to issue a command such as:

    lsnrctl stop NAME

To check on the name, look at the contents of
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora. If you see entries
such "LISTENER =" and "SID_LIST_LISTENER =", then your
listener is named LISTENER. If you see
SID_LIST_SOMETHING_ELSE, then your listener is named
SOMETHING_ELSE.
