OVDB_MONITOR(8) 	   InterNetNews Documentation		 OVDB_MONITOR(8)

NAME
     ovdb_monitor - Database maintenance

SYNOPSIS
     Use ovdb_init to start ovdb_monitor

DESCRIPTION
     When started (normally by ovdb_init that is invoked by rc.news), ovdb_moni-
     tor  forks three processes that perform routine database maintenance tasks.
     These are transaction checkpointing (every 30 seconds), deadlock  detection
     (every 30 seconds), and transaction log removal (every 45 seconds).

     The  process ID of the parent is written to ovdb_monitor.pid in the pathrun
     directory.  This PID is used by other INN commands to verify that ovdb_mon-
     itor is running.

     To shut down ovdb_monitor,  send  a  TERM	signal	to  the  process  ID  in
     ovdb_monitor.pid.	The parent process will shut down the three children and
     wait  for	their  exit  before  exiting itself.  Note that when running the
     "rc.news stop" command to stop the news system, rc.news automatically takes
     care of stopping ovdb_monitor.
