Jonathan,

Thank you very much for your input.

Looking forward to see 'Unix for Oracle DBAs Pocket Reference' book.

Hello Prasada,

I just finished editing a book with this information in it. Run Server Manager, connect as INTERNAL, and issue the oradebug ipc command:

SVRMGR> connect internal;

Connected.

SVRMGR> oradebug ipc

Shared memory information written to trace file.

You'll have to go hunt for the trace file. When you find it, you'll see output like this:

The semaphore identifier, 14825 in this case, corresponds to the ID column in the ipcs output.

Thank Don Burleson for this tip, and blame me if I misinterpreted what he wrote. It's from his upcomming book, Unix for Oracle DBAs Pocket Reference. It should be available late December or early January.

Best regards,

Jonathan
