OVDB_MONITOR(8)


NAME

  ovdb_monitor - Database maintenance


SYNOPSYS

  Use "ovdb_init" to start ovdb_monitor


DESCRIPTION

  When started (by "ovdb_init"), "ovdb_monitor" forks three processes that
  perform routine database maintenance tasks.  These are: transaction
  checkpointing, deadlock detection, and transaction log removal.  The
  process ID of the parent is written to pathrun/ovdb_monitor.pid.  This PID
  is used by other INN commands to verify that ovdb_monitor is running.

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