ovdb_server - Overview helper server for nnrpd
Use ovdb_init to start ovdb_server
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.
