What does this >mean and how can I resolve this? The quick and dirty solution would be to reboot your server. Alternatively, you can try running onmode -ky a couple of times, if that doesn't help, use ipcs -m to identify the shared memory segments and ipcrm -m to remove them. You'll have to be logged in as root to do so. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
