OVSQLITE-SERVER(8)	  InterNetNews Documentation	    OVSQLITE-SERVER(8)

NAME
       ovsqlite-server - Sole owner of the ovsqlite database

SYNOPSIS
       ovsqlite-server [-d]

DESCRIPTION
       The ovsqlite-server daemon is the only program that opens the overview
       SQLite database.	 It accepts connections	from the other parts of	INN
       that want to operate on overview	data (innd, nnrpd, expireover,
       makehistory).

       This daemon must	therefore be started before any	other process can
       access the overview database.  ovsqlite-server is normally invoked
       automatically by	rc.news	when starting the news system.	It is also
       stopped automatically by	rc.news	when stopping the news system.

       In case you need	to talk	to this	daemon from Perl, the binary protocol
       used to communicate with	it has been implemented	in the
       "INN::ovsqlite_client" Perl module.  See	its manual page	for more
       information about its possibilities.

OPTIONS
       -d  ovsqlite-server  normally  puts  itself into	the background,	points
	   its standard	output and  error  to  log  files,  and	 disassociates
	   itself from the terminal.  Using -d prevents	all of this, resulting
	   in log messages being written to the	standard error output; this is
	   generally useful only for debugging.

FILES
       pathetc/ovsqlite.conf
	   The configuration file.  See	ovsqlite(5).

       pathoverview/ovsqlite.db
	   The SQLite database file.

       pathrun/ovsqlite.pid
	   Stores the PID of the server	process	while it's running.

       pathrun/ovsqlite.sock
	   When	 Unix-domain  sockets  are  available,	the  server  binds its
	   listening socket to this path.

       pathrun/ovsqlite.port
	   When	Unix-domain sockets aren't available,  the  server  binds  its
	   listening  socket  to  a  dynamic  TCP  port	 on  the IPv4 loopback
	   interface and stores	the port number	in this	file.
