Re: PG 7.0.3 & RH 7 IPC problems?

Thank you Tom. Here are the results.
[root@atl01371 linux]# ipcs

------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key       shmid     owner     perms     bytes     nattch    status
0x0052e2ca 36864     postgres  700       144       5
0x0052e2c1 26625     postgres  600       1104896   5
0x0052e2c7 37890     postgres  600       66060     5

------ Semaphore Arrays --------
key       semid     owner     perms     nsems     status
0x0052e2ce 6144      postgres  600       16
0x0052e2cf 6145      postgres  600       16

------ Message Queues --------
key       msqid     owner     perms     used-bytes  messages

These values don't seem to change from one moment to the next although
there are of course varying numbers of backends running at any given
moment.
Since I am unfamiliar with this output I hesitate to use icprm to remove
something which ought not be removed.
I have not used kill -9 on anything. :)
