I'm running out of Sys V semaphores -- seems the only way to
add more is to reboot...
ipcs -a -s doesn't report much useful information when the semaphores
are owned by root -- are there any alternatives? Is there a place
that tracks (or can I turn on tracking) to see which process created them?
For example, yesterday I got:
:1 mleisner@santa 09:34:43; ipcs -s -a
IPC status from <running system> as of Thu Oct 16 09:38:52 EDT 2003
T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP CREATOR CGROUP NSEMS OTIME CTIME
Semaphores:

Just now I got:

Unfortunately, they don't give a clue to the date -- is there any way to find this out?
Semaphore IDs 3, 5 and 6 appear to have never been used -- can I ipcrm them as root?
I suppose if someone ever wants to use them, it will fail...
OTIME and CTIME
If I get any advice, I'll summarize to the list...
