Re: shared mem init failed

Just use 'ipcs -m' to see the shared memory segments with group informix and remove them (of course if you are sure you have just one Informix Server instance on your server up at a time). Then use ipcrm to remove these shared memory segments. Of course before this you should check you have no other Informix instances up and you are not removing wrong shared memory segments!!!
