Re: onmode -F is really working, or not???

In Response To: onmode -F is really working, or not??? (ALEXANDRE MARINI)

Hi,

there are still processes (2 in the case you mentioned) attached to that
SHM segment. Therefore it is not yet removed. Once these two processes
will have detached from the SHM segment, the SHM segment will disappear.
The "dest"(royed) in the status column means that the OS is waiting
with removing these segments until the last attached process has
detached.

It may be more difficult to find out, what these two processes are. The
"ipcs" system utility has several more options (which again may depend
on the OS or its version). Try them out to get more info on the SHM
segment. Usually it is not a problem to find out the creator process,
but this may well NOT be the processes still attached. The still
attached processes could be an "old" onbar_d, dbaccess or
onpload process still hanging around while still being attached
to the dead SHM segment (with the creator process, usually an
oninit process, long ago deceased). When the creator process
of the SHM segment does not exist anymore, then it should not affect the
running system (other than possibly occupying real RAM for no use).
But to finally get rid of the SHM segments, you have to find the still
attached processes and (probably) kill them ...

Regards,
Martin
