Hello,

thanks for your answer - I am sending this e-mail also to daip at nrao.edu.
If I do "sysctl kern.sysv" I get the following:

~]$ sysctl kern.sysv
kern.sysv.shmall: 1024
kern.sysv.shmseg: 8
kern.sysv.shmmni: 32
kern.sysv.shmmin: 1
kern.sysv.shmmax: 4194304
kern.sysv.semume: 10
kern.sysv.semmsl: 87381
kern.sysv.semmnu: 87381
kern.sysv.semmns: 87381
kern.sysv.semmni: 87381
kern.sysv: No such file or directory
~]$

The numbers (in kern.sysv.shmmax and kern.sysv.shmall) are not those
I set in /etc/sysctl.conf (see below in one of my previous e-mails), so
apparently it is not being executed on start up. Also, I am not sure what
to think about the "No such file or directory" error message.

Thanks a lot in advance for any advice you can give me!

Regards,

          Gianfranco
