Use ipcs to list shared resources, ipcrm to remove one. The id is the
number listed under shmid by ipcs.

Remember the man program; that should be your first call for help on
program usage.

Example:

bash-2.01$ ipcs

------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status
0xacec9312 3 root 666 256776 0

------ Semaphore Arrays --------
key semid owner perms nsems status

------ Message Queues --------
key msqid owner perms used-bytes messages
0xacea0207 0 root 666 0 0

bash-2.01$ ipcrm shm 3
resource deleted
