Finding the Memory Segment or Semaphore taken by Cop in Shareplex versions 2.1.3.10 and later (4325382)

The procedure has changed on how to find the Memory Segment or Semaphore taken by Cop in versions 2.1.3.10 and later. Cop randomly uses semaphores; it is no longer the 0x834 key.

1. At a Unix prompt type:
> ipcs -a

2. Go to the $SP_SYS_VARDIR/rim directory. There will be two files located there: shmaddr.loc and shstinfo.ipc

3. Type the following:
> od -x shmaddr.loc
> od -x shstinfo.ipc

The output will be a display of groupings of letters or numbers. The 6th and 7th grouping will be the Key to compare to the output of the ipcs -a command.

For example:

> od -x shmaddr.loc
0000000 0000 00d2 fd40 0000 4400 bebb 0080 0000

> od -x shstinfo.ipc
0000000 0000 0261 fe90 0000 4100 bebb 0010 0000

From this example the 4400 bebb and the 4100 bebb would represent the third column KEY of the ipcs -a output. Once located the Shared Memory or Semaphore can be removed by the ipcrm command.
