Use ipcs to list shared resources, ipcrm to remove one.  The id is the
number listed under shmid by ipcs.

Remember the man program; that should be your first call for help on
program usage.


Example:

bash-2.01$ ipcs

------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key        shmid     owner     perms     bytes     nattch    status
0xacec9312 3         root      666       256776    0

------ Semaphore Arrays --------
key       semid     owner     perms     nsems     status

------ Message Queues --------
key       msqid     owner     perms     used-bytes  messages
0xacea0207 0         root      666       0           0

bash-2.01$ ipcrm shm 3
resource deleted
