does anyone know of any docs or any links that can help me understand the output of an ipcs -a .. whats using the resources.. how to free it up... etc etc... thanks a lot
 
difference between message queues.. semaphores.. shared memory .. etc as well.. tx
 
IPC = Inter Process Communication

Semaphores (not certain about this) are flags that multiple processes can access and set.

Message Queues are a facility for processes to send a stream of data to each other.

Shared Memory are blocks of memory that multiple processes can access and/or update.

The ipcrm command can be used to remove allocated IPC resources, but these are usually cleaned up by well-behaved processes when they exit.

I know of no such documents, but I'm sure Google will find something interesting for you.

Annihilannic.
