3 ovdb_monitor - Database maintenance
7 Use C<ovdb_init> to start ovdb_monitor
11 When started (by C<ovdb_init>), C<ovdb_monitor> forks three processes
12 that perform routine database maintenance tasks. These are:
13 transaction checkpointing, deadlock detection, and transaction log
14 removal. The process ID of the parent is written to
15 F<I<pathrun>/ovdb_monitor.pid>. This PID is used by other INN
16 commands to verify that ovdb_monitor is running.
18 To shut down ovdb_monitor, send a TERM signal to the process ID
19 in F<I<pathrun>/ovdb_monitor.pid> . The parent process will shut
20 down the three children and wait for their exit before exiting itself.
