Hello true64-unix experts,

thanks for the fast responses to the problem that ipcs does not work
on my server, but I have learned "first reboot, then ask" - (I'm not using
WiN...)
After reboot in the maintenance window the problem has gone - don't
know why ???

the answers until now:

        You have to have the "System V devices" in your
        kernel build.

Roberto Romani <roberto.romani_at_digital.com>
        ipcs(1) command reads /vmunix for symbol information. To check which
        kernel you have booted from enter the following command.
        sizer -b (Displays the name of the file from which the running
        kernel was booted) this should return vmunix if it is something
        else then you need to use the
        following option with ipcs(1)
        ipcs -a -N /vmunix.whatever <---- output from sizer -b
BTW:
 I use different kernels, but after boot the name of the booted kernel
 gets a symbolic link to /vmunix, because I think that
 "ipcs -a -N /bootfile" only works for root if one uses standard
 permissions for "/dev/kmem", may be that this is not the best solution,
 but - if someone has an easy solution, please mail me)

Thanks again to this great list,
    best regards, Rainer
