Keywords: /etc/lddrv/nipc.o, ipcs, ipcrm, bug Message-ID: <381@icus.UUCP> Date: 6 Jun 88 04:25:10 GMT Organization: ICUS Computer Group, Islip, NY Lines: 29 I was having some problems with interprocess communications on the UNIX pc just recently. I was getting weird results like EMT trap - core dumps on programs that I know run. I remember something in the 3.51 books saying their was a non-certified version of the interprocess communications driver called "nipc", so I proceeded to unbind and deallocate the nipc driver (I used the "Setup loadable device drivers" from the User Agent) and then loaded "nipc". All seemed to go well. I rebooted, although I shouldn't have to since they are dynamically allocated... I logged in and did a ipcs to see what was in my "message queue" and my "shared memory" blocks were set up, and I got: $ ipcs IPC status from /dev/kmem as of Mon Jun 6 00:24:33 1988 Message Queue facility not in system. Shared Memory facility not in system. Semaphore facility not in system. What do you mean they are not a facility in the system. The programs are running just fine (or so they seem). What should I do? -Lenny -- US MAIL : Lenny Tropiano, ICUS Computer Group IIIII CCC U U SSS PO Box 1 I C U U S Islip Terrace, New York 11752 I C U U SS PHONE : (516) 968-8576 [H] (516) 582-5525 [W] I C U U S TELEX : 154232428 [ICUS] IIIII CCC UUU SSS AT&T MAIL: ...attmail!icus!lenny UUCP : ...{mtune, ihnp4, boulder, talcott, sbcs, bc-cis}!icus!lenny
