Hi,

IPCS is used to report status of interprocess communication facilities.

You can take a look at this page, http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/sec98/full_papers/jaeger/jaeger_html/node12.html

IPCS is primarily used for a) semaphores b) shared memory segments. Not really usefull for performance monitoring, but IPCS can show you who's using all the shared memory...

By the way, off the top of my head, IPC stand for Inter Process Communications. So message queue software and DB managers like Oracle will enjoy doing stuff with these elements.

It will be usefull for DBA.

When you run out of shared memory segments, Oracle will probably stop (semaphores and stuff).

It's not "performance" monitoring, I'd call it "resource" monitoring.
