How do I find which process is owned by what memory segment

[frederick hannah]

I have an hpux 11.11 environment and I want to do a "memory audit". How do I map a memory segemt to its assigned process?

Not clear what you are asking but you may be asking for the output of "ipcs -a"

Sorry for the fuzziness of the original question. I want know how to map the following shared memory segment to the process that is using it:

m 272410 0x00003039 --rw-rw-rw- oracle dba oracle dba 04304 3255 23093 14:38:32 14:39:24 11:28:40

The process ID of interest are the CPID and LPID, in your case I assume they are 3255 and 23093. The 04304 should probably be two fields, 0 and 4304 for the NATTCH and SEGSZ fields. See man ipcs to find out what the meaning of eash PID is.

Shalom,

memory segments do not own processes.

Processes use memory segment.

ipcs
# Shows memory segments and user ownership.

Check for other options on the command.

I assume "memory segment" means shared memory segment. Use the command: ipcs -bmop

This will give a fair amount of information. However, a shared memory segment is created by a process but that is not really ownership. The segment ID is then communicated between processes so they can share access to the segment. Indeed, the creating process may have terminated a long time ago.
