Solaris

Hello All,

We have a working script which identifies and kills ipcs resources which havent been correctly killed during normal shutdowns.
It is working fine and dandy however there are some issues now.

Environment:

Code:

SunOS 5.10 Generic_148888-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise

Problem :

Our target search string has increased by 1 character from 8 chars to 9. What I am observing @ this point is the ipcs -a | grep (9 char string) is returning blank results. The increase in characters is due to new naming conventions. So while it may be easy to say , "simply use an 8 char database", in practicality it is over my head.


Desired Solution:

I need to find a way to get ipcs to be able to identify resources associated with a 9 char search string. From what I have read so far I havent dug up an environment var or quick fix for this issue. I have also dug through a few posts here in the forum in the hopes of finding a solution.

Code Example:

a) Working:

Code:

      ipcs -a | grep 1245678

b) Not working

Code:

       ipcs -a | grep 123456789

Anything you can offer is appreciated!

There are logic tweaks I can make to the script however out of curiosity I would like to learn more about ipcs on solaris. Constantly hungry for skills!

Thank you!
