Hi.

I would like to know what people do with their orphaned shared memory segments.

SHMMAXPGS could be big, but after a lot of use, it gets filled. As example,
sometimes opera and mplayer with X11's xv extension can't be used together.

ipcrm(1) remove those orphaned segments, but it requires sysadmin intervention.

I am talking about an X environment with remote, KDE users.

Do the processes close (mandatory) their shared memory segments when quitting?

Thanks in advance.
