NAME
ovdb_server - Overview helper server for nnrpd
SYNOPSIS
Use ovdb_init to start ovdb_server
DESCRIPTION
If the readserver parameter in ovdb.conf is true, ovdb_init (if not
invoked with the -r flag) will start as many ovdb_server processes as
the numrsprocs parameter states.
ovdb_server opens the overview database, and accesses it on behalf of
the nnrpd reader processes.
To shut down ovdb_server, send a TERM signal to the process ID
mentioned in ovdb_server.pid in pathrun (note that the rc.news script
already does that if used to shut down INN). The parent process will
shut down its children and wait for their exit before exiting itself.
