NAME

6       ovdb_server - Overview helper server for nnrpd
7

SYNOPSIS

9       Use ovdb_init to start ovdb_server
10

DESCRIPTION

12       If the readserver parameter in ovdb.conf is true, ovdb_init (if not
13       invoked with the -r flag) will start as many ovdb_server processes as
14       the numrsprocs parameter states.
15
16       ovdb_server opens the overview database, and accesses it on behalf of
17       the nnrpd reader processes.
18
19       To shut down ovdb_server, send a TERM signal to the process ID
20       mentioned in ovdb_server.pid in pathrun (note that the rc.news script
21       already does that if used to shut down INN).  The parent process will
22       shut down its children and wait for their exit before exiting itself.
