oninit: Failed to initialize shared memory segments

fix

You can query the shared memory segments on the server with the following command:

 
ipcs -ma
 
If all informix servers are offline then what is returned can be removed if owned by user informix.  WARNING: if informix servers are still online then do not use the following command.
 
ipcrm -m SHARED_MEMORY_SEGMENT_ID
 
This will remove the shared memory segments.  The informix server can then be brought back online.
