What is the best way to find unused IPC resources (shared memory, semaphores)

Hi Laszlo,

Not sure this is what you're looking for but
ipcs -a
will report status of IPC facilities.

How do I know if it's free or not?
For instance:

ipcs -amp
m oratst 20030 22185

(Well, I deleted the biggest part)
This shows shared memory and CPID, LPID values. These are useless.

How can I determine that a shared memory segment is attached to any process or not?

You can use adb commands to find out. Check this attached documentation, it will help out a lot:

To find out the shared memory allocation use ipcs -mob and Glance to dig into it as per processes. Go through te attached document in my previous contribution.

Thanx Chris,

ipcs -mob is what I was looking for.
