7
9 Use "ovdb_init" to start ovdb_monitor
10
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.
