ovdb_stat displays information from the ovdb database: Berkeley DB
statistics, newsgroup data, and overview records. The output can optionally be
in HTML format.
The number of overview records stored in the database can be obtained with the
"inndf -n" command.
- -g
- Newsgroup high water mark, low marker mark, article count,
and flag for the given newsgroups (as stored in the ovdb groupinfo
database) are displayed.
- -c
- Similar to -g, except the high water mark, low water
mark, and article count are calculated by actually scanning the overview
records and counting them. This can be a lengthy operation on groups with
lots of articles.
- -i
- Internal data regarding the given newsgroups are
displayed.
-
-r artnumrange
- Overview records are retrieved. The artnumrange
parameter may be a single article number, or a range of articles in the
format "low-high".
- -H
- Output is presented in HTML format.
- -k
- Displays lock region statistics, as returned by the
Berkeley DB "lock_stat()" call.
- -l
- Displays log region statistics, as returned by the
Berkeley DB "log_stat()" call.
- -m
- Displays global memory pool statistics, as returned by the
Berkeley DB "memp_stat()" call.
- -M
- Same as -m, and also displays memory pool statistics
for each database file.
- -t
- Displays log region statistics, as returned by the
Berkeley DB "txn_stat()" call.
- -v
- Displays ovdb version, and Berkeley DB version.
-
-d database
- Displays information about the given database, as returned
by the Berkeley DB "db->stat()" call. This operation
may take a long time on busy systems (several minutes or more).
ovdb_stat may be safely killed with the INT, TERM, or HUP signals. It
catches those signals and exits cleanly. Do not kill
ovdb_stat with
other signals, unless absolutely necessary, because it may leave stale locks
in the database environment.
