ipcrm: Delete an IPC queue by ID.

ipcrm

$ ipcrm --queue-id ${ipc_queue_id}

try on your machine

The command ipcrm --queue-id ${ipc_queue_id} is used to remove a specific message queue in Linux.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

ipcrm: It is a command-line utility for managing System V interprocess communication (IPC) facilities. It provides several options to work with shared memory segments, message queues, and semaphore arrays.
--queue-id: This option specifies that we want to remove a message queue based on its ID.
${ipc_queue_id}: It is a placeholder for the actual ID of the message queue you want to remove. You need to replace ${ipc_queue_id} with the desired message queue ID.

To use this command effectively, you need to know the ID of the message queue you want to remove. Generally, you can obtain the queue ID using the ipcs command, which lists all the IPC resources on the system along with their IDs. Once you have the message queue ID, you can substitute it into the command to remove it with the ipcrm command.
