HPUX 10.20 System V Message Queues and Semaphores

Adam Clarke — Fri, 07 Apr 2000 15:28:08 GMT

My server application (running in HPUX 10.20) is running out of either Sys V
message queues or semaphores.

Does anyone know How I can determine the current system limit on the total
number of semaphores, are there default values, and if one can configure the
system to provide more of them?

Check the kernel configuration variable msgmni for the maximum number of
message queues and semmni for the max number of sempahores.

If you have glance, you can get an idea of how much of your resources are in
use by looking at the system tables (hit 't'.)
