I have seen this problem quite a few times on two of our HP-UX 11 servers running IDS 7.30.FC7 and was wondering if somebody has also encountered this. Sometimes, shared memory segments do not get removed at the O/S level after Informix shutdown. ipcs -m shows these segments flagged with "D" under mode column. Removing these segments using ipcrm does not work either. What could be the cause of this? And how to avoid it? Thanks, Shehla
