Hi all,

I am using HP 10.20 on A 9000/785. My question is:

If I am the only person logged in as root at the moment, how many "semaphore proccesses" should I have?? Is it only one, or it is relevant to other system proccesses?

Here is what I get listing the current semaphores

# ipcs -sp
IPC status from /dev/kmem as of Mon Jan 28 11:52:28 2002
T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP
Semaphores:
s 0 0x2f180002 --ra-ra-ra- root sys
s 1 0x411c02e1 --ra-ra-ra- root root
s 2 0x4e0c0002 --ra-ra-ra- root root
s 3 0x412001f9 --ra-ra-ra- root root
s 4 0x00446f6e --ra-r--r-- root root
s 5 0x00446f6d --ra-r--r-- root root
s 6 0x01090522 --ra-r--r-- root root
s 7 0x0000002a --ra------- root root
s 72 0x4c1c30ab --ra-r--r-- daemon daemon
s 9 0xeb06e52e --ra------- root root


I killed a couple of semaphores from previous users, but right now I am the only user logged in (root). Would it be OK to kill some semaphores that are unsed and how do I identified these?
Thanks alot
