bionic (8) ovdb_monitor.8.gz

NAME

       ovdb_monitor - Database maintenance

SYNOPSIS

       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.
