3 ovdb_server - overview 'helper' server
7 Use C<ovdb_init> to start ovdb_server
11 If the C<readserver> parameter in F<ovdb.conf> is true,
12 C<ovdb_init> will start C<ovdb_server>.
14 C<ovdb_server> opens the overview database, and accesses it
15 on behalf of the nnrpd reader processes.
17 To shut down ovdb_server, send a TERM signal to the process ID
18 in F<I<pathrun>/ovdb_server.pid> . The parent process will shut
19 down its children and wait for their exit before exiting itself.
