fail. There are some precautions, however, to prevent stepping on other peoples
toes. There is also a dumpinstipc option which will make us print the IPC objects
which belong to the instance. Use it to see if we parse the trace file correctly. Three
settings are possible: - none: don't mess with IPC and hope for the best (beware:
you'll probably be out of luck, sooner or later) - instance: try to figure out the IPC
stuff which belongs to the instance and remove only those (default; should be safe)
- orauser: remove all IPC belonging to the user which runs the instance (don't use
this if you run more than one instance as same user or if other apps running as this
user use IPC) The default setting "instance" should be safe to use, but in that case
we cannot guarantee that the instance will start. In case IPC objects were already
left around, because, for instance, someone mercilessly killing Oracle processes,
there is no way any more to find out which IPC objects should be removed. In that
case, human intervention is necessary, and probably _all_ instances running as
same user will have to be stopped. The third setting, "orauser", guarantees IPC
objects removal, but it does that based only on IPC objects ownership, so you
should use that only if every instance runs as separate user. Please report any
problems. Suggestions/fixes welcome.
