• Why shared memory can not be released by "ipcrm" command ?

• What is the meaning of the "dest" seen under status from the output of the "ipcs -m" command ?

Eg:

• The shared memory segment (4685833) is marked to be destroyed on the system.

• Status "dest" in the output of "ipcs -m" means memory segment is marked to be destroyed and "nattach" field shows that how many application being attached to the shared memory.

• The shared memory segment marked as "dest" will be released its memory when all the application which are attached with this memory segment are terminated.

Steps to remove shared memory segment:

1) Determine the application pid's which are using the shared memory segment. The process id can be identified using;
Eg:

Raw

# ipcs -mp

or

# grep -l "shmid" /proc/[1-9]*/maps

or

# lsof | egrep "shmid"

2) Terminate all application pid's which are using shared memory segment.
Eg:

Raw

# kill -15 <pid>

3) Use "ipcrm" command to remove the shared memory segment.
Eg:

Raw

# ipcrm -m shmid
