Subject: no shared memory?

Use 'ipcs' for searching shared memory and semaphores of aplications.

It seems dificult to calculate the amount of shared memory used, and for what
I know, useless.
Anyway, I heard that Alan Cox's release of 2.4.13 has some code to show the
shared memory used, but only the one used my applications.

Saludos... :-)
