Delete Apache semaphores

Apache generates semaphores and when it can not generate more, you should get an error like this:

"No space left on device:mod_rewrite: could not create_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lockConfiguration Failed"

You should delete semaphores to fix it.

Listing and deleting semaphores :
# ipcs -s grep apache
# ipcs -s grep apache perl -e 'while () { @a=split(/\s+/); print `ipcrm sem $a[1]`}'

It should be fine now :)

    This also works

    To remove Semaphores
    # for id in `ipcs -s |grep 'owner' | awk '{print $2}'`;do ipcrm -s $id;echo Removing semaphoreid $id;done
    To remove Shared Memory Segments
    # for id in `ipcs -m |grep 'owner' | awk '{print $2}'`;do ipcrm -m $id;echo Removing SharedMemid $id;done
    Output example:
    # for id in `ipcs -s |grep apache | awk '{print $2}'`;do ipcrm -s $id;echo Removing semaphoreid $id;done
