FYI, ipc-daemon2 is now obsolete, and unless you have an unofficial package that depends on it, I suggest you stop it, as it's only wasting system resources. > cygserver is also running with default options which > includes : > XSI IPC Shared Memory support. > > Would appreciate if someone could point out what is > the real issue. > > Thanks... > Rahul > > ps -aef output:: > > rgulati 2984 3980 con 15:04:43 > /usr/bin/ipc-daemon2 > SYSTEM 2088 1 ? 17:31:08 > /usr/bin/cygrunsrv > SYSTEM 2796 2088 ? 17:31:08 > /usr/sbin/cygserver > rgulati 3852 1432 con 17:59:05 /usr/bin/ps > > > Here is a snippet of my code: > > int main{) > { > int i; > for (i=0; i<SHM_TAB_SZ; i++) { > shm_tab[i].free=1; > } > shm_id = shmget(LOADGEN_SHM_KEY, SHM_TAB_SZ*sizeof(SHM_DATA), > 0777|IPC_CREAT); > if (shm_id <0) { > if (debug) printf("\nLGEN:shmget failed...\n"); > perror("LGEN:shmget:"); > } > } Not nearly enough information, the problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> were not followed (e.g., no attached cygcheck output), and your code snippet isn't self-contained, doesn't compile (even discounting Yahoo's line wrapping -- next time, please attach the code), and doesn't reproduce the bug. In the absense of the facts, I can only offer a WAG: does $CYGWIN contain "server" when you run your program?
