OVDB_SERVER(8)


NAME

  ovdb_server - overview 'helper' server


SYNOPSYS

  Use "ovdb_init" to start ovdb_server


DESCRIPTION

  If the "readserver" parameter in ovdb.conf is true, "ovdb_init" will start
  "ovdb_server".

  "ovdb_server" opens the overview database, and accesses it on behalf of the
  nnrpd reader processes.

  To shut down ovdb_server, send a TERM signal to the process ID in
  pathrun/ovdb_server.pid .  The parent process will shut down its children
  and wait for their exit before exiting itself.
