Hi, look at this site for example: http://www.puschitz.com/TuningLinuxForOracle.shtml (guide is for Redhat, not depending on the database system) kernel.sem is a parameter with multiple values separated by a blank. # cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem 250 32000 32 128 These values represent SEMMSL, SEMMNS, SEMOPM, and SEMMNI. The SHMMIN and SHMSEG parameters are not tunable in Linux (and there is no need for Informix or any other DB).
