Re: Increasing Shared Memory
Using either 'top' or 'cat /proc/meminfo' gives you a better overview of what is currently in use.
The 'shared memory' is the amount of memory used by '.so' (shared) libraries. Unless you are using applications written that use shared libraries, the value will usually be little.
You cannot force this value up. It will go up dynamically as applications use it.

One long-haired git at your service...

Re: Increasing Shared Memory
Just an addition to stuarts comment, if you really do mean applications using shared memory i.e for inter process communication, ipcs -m will show you what is being used and by who.
Never preceed any demonstration with anything more predictive than "watch this"

Solution
change without rebuilding kernel or rebooting:
# each > /proc/sys/kernel/shmax
for example,
# echo 22554432 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
note that shared memory setup changes in Linux2.4.
If using oracle, shared memory parameter should be set so that SGA will fit in one segment if possible.
