NAME

6       ovdb_monitor - Database maintenance
7

SYNOPSIS

9       Use ovdb_init to start ovdb_monitor
10

DESCRIPTION

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.
