Just had a bit of a weird one. A single Xymon server hung and wasn't updating. When drilling down to an individual test we were just getting a "Status not available" message on a white screen.
The only message we could find was in xymonlaunch.log and said "Could not get shm of size 2097152: Invalid argument"
Issuing command ipcs -m gave the following.

A server reboot has fixed the problem but we'd like to try and find the cause to try and make sure it doesn't happen again. Has anyone ever seen this before?
