I used to read a lot of technical magazines in my younger years, but to be honest, the fascination has worn off. I was a subscriber of "Dr Dobbs Journal" back in the beginning of the nineties, but it evolved from a highly-technical programmers journal to a Windows script-kiddie magazine. I could not care less about methods to write Excel macros more efficiently, let alone the fact that i don't consider this to be programming.

Today i am more interested in the "cultural" side of computing. I have, for instance, re-read Weizenbaums Computer Power and Human Reason. From Judgement to Calculation. a few days ago and i think it did more for my advancement than any article about the newest backup software could.

DESCRIPTION

       ipcs provides information on the ipc facilities for which the calling process has read access.

       The -i option allows a specific resource id to be specified.  Only information on this id will be printed.

       Resources may be specified as follows:

       -m     shared memory segments

       -q     message queues

       -s     semaphore arrays

       The  Linux  ipcs  utility is not fully compatible to the POSIX ipcs utility.  The Linux version does not support the -b and -o options, but
       does support the -l and -u options not defined by POSIX. The portable application shall not use the -a, -b, -o, -l, and -u options.
