Only the DBA -should execute this program as it can cause bizarre behavior (i.e., -crashes) if run during multi-user execution. This program should be -executed if messages such as -.BR "semget: No space left on device" -are encountered when starting up the -.IR postmaster -or the backend server. -.SH BUGS -If this command is executed while a -.IR postmaster -is running, the shared memory and semaphores allocated by the -.IR postmaster -will be deleted. This will result in a general failure of the -backends servers started by that -.IR postmaster . -.PP -This script is a hack, but in the many years since it was written, no -one has come up with an equally effective and portable solution. -Suggestions are welcome. -.PP -The script makes assumption about the format of output of the -.BR ipcs -utility which may not be true across different operating systems. -Therefore, it may not work on your particular OS. |
