How to keep track of which process is creating a System V IPC semaphore on the system?
Issue
- System is often hitting the limit of number of System V IPC semaphores allowed. It seems processes are exiting without cleaning its created semaphore sets.
- ipcs -s -i <semid> shows a pid for a process which isn't running anymore. I would like to keep track/know which process is creating semaphores on the system.
