Viewing Shared-Memory Segments
This task describes how to view information about the shared-memory segments. The PATROL KM for UNIX lists the type of memory, permissions, owner, and group.
To View Shared-Memory Segments
- Access the MEMORY application menu as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes.
- Select List Shared Memory Segments.
BMC PATROL writes the information to a BMC PATROL task object (List Shared Memory Segments) in the MEMORY container. - Access the List Shared Memory Segments task object as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes and view the results. Your results should resemble this example:
