In short, the question was:
Is there a way to get the shared memory back in some controlled manner?
In short the answer is:
ipcs -m | awk '{ printf("ipcrm -m %d\n",$2);}' | sh > /dev/null 2>&1
Read the man pages for ipcs and ipcrm to actually understand what you are doing.
Those responses are coming in fast and furious! It's kind of embarrasing when
you ask a question that everybody knows the answer to. So far:
Paul A Sand <pas_at_keokuk.unh.edu>
"George W. Baltz" <gwb_at_umd5.umd.edu>
Gyula Szokoly <szgyula_at_skysrv.Pha.Jhu.EDU>
