Ok - what I would like to do is put information on what needs to be done in the error message, so that when mod_ldap starts and the shared memory goes pear shaped, the admin is given exact instructions on what to do to fix it, this removing your step 4 above, and hopefully also step 6. [1]
Something like: "LDAP cache: shared memory segment could not be created due to problems with an unclean shutdown. Please run 'ipcrm -m XXXX' to fix this."
How would I get the XXXX part? Is this returned anywhere?
I don't think it is possible. APR does not pass back any information in case of error, other than error code itself. (and anyway XXX is shmid returned by shmget() which is failing in your case)
