Hi,

I'm unfamiliar with the term semaphores in regards to my operating system
(redhat linux 7.3).

I've googled and can see they are used for controlling concurrent access to
memory/resource, but am unfamiliar with how
To allocate more, or if it would actually assist my problem.


Could you please provide some more information?


Regards
Michael Andrewes

Hi,

I suppose your operating system runs out of semaphores. Can you configure it
to supply some more of them to the kernel?
