unable to remove shared memory

[LearnerLinux]

When I boot into Linux i see some shared memory which is blocked, due to this I am unable to start my processes which needs some shared memory.
I tried removing the shared memory using ipcrm -m but no use, the shared memory is not cleaned but its still in use.
I tried removing the shared memory using root user also normal user but unable to remove the shared memory.
[pin01]$ ipcs -m

The man page states that ipcrm -m <id> only marks it for removal. If you do a ipcs -p it will give you the process id's. Kill the process that you are trying to free and you will see the shared memory segment go away.
good luck.
