Sybase ASE Shutdown and Shared memory files

When Adaptive Server starts, it creates SERVER_NAME.krg file in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE directory to store information about shared memory segments that it uses.

If Adaptive Server is configured with a memory size that is greater than the MAXSHMSEGSIZE parameter in the operating system then Adaptive Server may create additional shared memory segments and for every additional shared memory segment that it creates, an additional file with SERVER_NAME.srg (where N ranges from 0 – N), is created under $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE.

When Adaptive Server is shut down in a normal manner, the shared memory files are automatically removed. If Adaptive Server crashes or is stopped with the kill -9 command, these files are not deleted. You need read and write permissions on these files to restart Adaptive Server after a crash or a kill -9 command, because Adaptive Server must be able to overwrite the previously created shared memory files.
...

find . -mtime +180 -exec ls -al {} \;

To remove files containing special characters use their inode numbers.

Ex: To remove a file like *\x+y\* its inode number can be listed using the below command.

ls -i *\x+y\*

With the inode number the file can be removed using find command as follows:

find . -inum inode_num -exec rm {} \;

The following command can be used to display file names and sizes greater than certain size.

ls -l | awk '{ if ( $5 > 2147483648 ) print $9 \t $5 }'
