sr at karl:~$ ipcs

------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key        shmid      owner      perms      bytes      nattch    
status      
0x00000000 98305      sr        777        3027680   
2                       

------ Semaphore Arrays --------
key        semid      owner      perms      nsems      status      

------ Message Queues --------
