Script to delet ipc

[aharrris84]

I am writing a script that will delete all of the ipc's with ipcrm command. The problem that I have is that I don't know how to tell which switch to use for the 3 different types. Anyone have a good idea of how I can do this.

man ipcrm
man ipcs

Sorry I don't think I was clear in what I was needing. I know which switches to use, but thanks for replying. What I have decided to do is search for a line with the string "shared memory segments". But After I find the line I need to see if there are any shared memory ipc's so I need to proceed 2 lines. Then I can ipcrm -m $2 to remove the ipc. Now I need to go to the next line to see if there is another ipc or a blank line. Is this correct?

How can I test for a blank line? Does NR++ put me on the next line?

Test for blank line:

 NF==0

Read the next line:

 getline

Anyway:

 man awk
