Re: Shared Memory on NT

The engine is not releasing the memory correctly, try an onmode -kuy instead of the jelly version. Alternatively you need to release the memory before re-staritng the engine and I don't know how to do that in NT Paul Watson WF Software Ltd Tel: +44 1436 674729 Fax: +44 1436 678729 www.wfsoftware.com/informix # If you broke it, hide the evidence >>> Wolfgang Zager <zager@compuserve.com> 09/14/99 01:43PM >>> Hello out there, we have the following strange behaviour on an Windows NT 4.0 SP 3 with IDS 7.22 TC1. Each night we are using a cmd-script to shutdown the db-server using onmode -ky.After doing a complete backup of the hard-drive, another script tries to start the db-server again. Most of the time everything works fine. But sometimes we get errors like the following, when trying to bring IDS online. 11:39:22 shmget: [EEXIST][17]: key 52564801: Shared Memory bereitsvorhanden 11:39:27 mt_shm_init: Segment resident kann nicht angelegt werden In each case the online log states, that online terminated correctly without any errors. Any ideas ?
