NAME

6       ovdb_monitor - Database maintenance
7

SYNOPSYS

9       Use "ovdb_init" to start ovdb_monitor
10

DESCRIPTION

12       When started (by "ovdb_init"), "ovdb_monitor" forks three processes
13       that perform routine database maintenance tasks.  These are:
14       transaction checkpointing, deadlock detection, and transaction log
15       removal.  The process ID of the parent is written to
16       pathrun/ovdb_monitor.pid.  This PID is used by other INN commands to
17       verify that ovdb_monitor is running.
18
19       To shut down ovdb_monitor, send a TERM signal to the process ID in
20       pathrun/ovdb_monitor.pid .  The parent process will shut down the three
21       children and wait for their exit before exiting itself.
