Description

The db_checkpoint utility is a daemon process that monitors the database log, and periodically calls txn_checkpoint to checkpoint it.

The options are as follows:

• -1 Checkpoint the log once, regardless of whether or not there has been activity since the last checkpoint and then exit.

• -h Specify a home directory for the database environment; by default, the current working directory is used.

• -k Checkpoint the database at least as often as every kbytes of log file are written.

• -L Log the execution of the db_checkpoint utility to the specified file in the following format, where ### is the process ID, and the date is the time the utility was started.
