DB5.1_CHECKPOINT(1)					   DB5.1_CHECKPOINT(1)

NAME
       db5.1_checkpoint - Periodically checkpoint transactions

SYNOPSIS
       db5.1_checkpoint	 [-1Vv]	 [-h home] [-k kbytes] [-L file] [-P password]
       [-p min]

DESCRIPTION
       The db5.1_checkpoint utility is a  daemon  process  that	 monitors  the
       database	 log,  and periodically calls DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint to check‐
       point it.

OPTIONS
       -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 db5.1_checkpoint utility to the speci‐
	      fied file in the following format, where ### is the process  ID,
	      and the date is the time the utility was started.

       db_checkpoint: ### Wed Jun 15 01:23:45 EDT 1995

	       This file will be removed if the db5.1_checkpoint utility exits
	       gracefully.

       -P      Specify an environment password.	 Although Berkeley  DB	utili‐
	       ties  overwrite	password strings as soon as possible, be aware
	       there may be a window of vulnerability on systems where unpriv‐
	       ileged  users can see command-line arguments or where utilities
	       are not able to overwrite the memory  containing	 the  command-
	       line arguments.

       -p      Checkpoint the database at least every min minutes if there has
	       been any activity since the last checkpoint.

       -V      Write the library version number to the	standard  output,  and
	       exit.

       -v      Write  the time of each checkpoint attempt to the standard out‐
	       put.

       At least one of the -1, -k, and -p options must be specified.

       The  db5.1_checkpoint  utility  uses  a	Berkeley  DB  environment  (as
       described  for  the  -h	option,	 the  environment variable DB_HOME, or
       because the utility was run in a directory  containing  a  Berkeley  DB
       environment).   In  order  to avoid environment corruption when using a
       Berkeley DB environment, db5.1_checkpoint should always	be  given  the
       chance  to  detach  from the environment and exit gracefully.  To cause
       db5.1_checkpoint to release all environment resources and exit cleanly,
       send it an interrupt signal (SIGINT).

       The db5.1_checkpoint utility does not attempt to create the Berkeley DB
       shared memory regions if they do not already  exist.   The  application
       that creates the region should be started first, and once the region is
       created, the db5.1_checkpoint utility should be started.

       The DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint method is the underlying method used by  the
       db5.1_checkpoint utility. See the db_checkpoint utility source code for
       an example of using DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint in a	IEEE/ANSI  Std	1003.1
       (POSIX) environment.

       The  db5.1_checkpoint  utility  exits  0 on success, and >0 if an error
       occurs.

ENVIRONMENT
       DB_HOME
	      If the -h option is not specified and the	 environment  variable
	      DB_HOME  is set, it is used as the path of the database home, as
	      described in DB_ENV->open.
