9 Use ovdb_init to start ovdb_monitor
10
12 When started (normally by ovdb_init that is invoked by rc.news),
13 ovdb_monitor forks three processes that perform routine database
14 maintenance tasks. These are transaction checkpointing, deadlock
15 detection, and transaction log removal.
16
17 The process ID of the parent is written to ovdb_monitor.pid in the
18 pathrun directory. This PID is used by other INN commands to verify
19 that ovdb_monitor is running.
20
21 To shut down ovdb_monitor, send a TERM signal to the process ID in
22 ovdb_monitor.pid. The parent process will shut down the three children
23 and wait for their exit before exiting itself. Note that when running
24 the "rc.news stop" command to stop the news system, rc.news
25 automatically takes care of stopping ovdb_monitor.
