Sorry, kre, but I haven't been able to get ipcs(1) to provide information about POSIX named semaphores. I tried it first, hoping it would provide the needed information. (after having to rack my brains to remember what the command was.) To be clear, I have a test program that opens a POSIX named semaphore with sem_open(3), and then sleeps. When using ipcs(1), no semaphores appear. (I also have a much larger program, being ported from Linux, that appears to be leaking named semaphores, and consuming all available POSIX semaphores in the system, hence the test program, and the desire to interrogate the system for the semaphores in use.) Nor do POSIX named semaphores appear in /var/shm. (POSIX named shared memory segments do, as dot-files.) I probably should have made that clear in my initial posting. -- Eric Schnoebelen e...@cirr.com http://www.cirr.com Programming is like sex: One mistake and you have to support it for a lifetime -- unknown
