Hi, I found out that Apache is leaving a trace of semaphore arrays, even when is down. Using this command:
> [root@server root]# ipcs -s most of the output correspond to Apache. My question is: shouldn't this be clean if I run the command: > [root@server root]# service httpd stop It seems that not... If I run the command > [root@server root]# ipcs -t I can see that a lot of this are created (and/or modified) a long time ago. And they were not destroyed even if I'm re-starting Apache every single day! I need some clarification on this issue... Anybody could bring some light into it...? Should I manually remove some of this arrays (using the command ipcrm ("ipcrm will remove the resource speccified by id.", according to its man page...)) to have fresh space to use...? I'll appreciate any comment on this topic (or at least a direction to read on...) Regards, Tomás > Hello, > > I'm running RedHat 7.3 with all the updates and Apache 1.3.23-14.
