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_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 ovdb_monitor.pid in the
       pathrun directory.  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
       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.
