Re: what does "no entry" mean under OTIME when running ipcs -sa

From 'man ipcs':

OTIME - The time the last semop() semaphore operation was completed on the set associated with the semaphore entry.


So if therer is a 'no entry' listed I would imagine it means that there has not been a semop() for that entry in the table.

Thanks Patrick. Based on that, I would think that a large number of "no-entry"'s would be indicative of mismanaged semaphores, agree?
