NAME


db5.3_deadlock - Detect and abort deadlocks

SYNOPSIS


db5.3_deadlock [-Vv] [-a e | m | n | o | W | w | y] [-h home] [-L file] [-t sec.usec]

DESCRIPTION


The db5.3_deadlock utility traverses the database environment lock region, and aborts a
lock request each time it detects a deadlock or a lock request that has timed out. By
default, in the case of a deadlock, a random lock request is chosen to be aborted.

This utility should be run as a background daemon, or the underlying Berkeley DB deadlock
detection interfaces should be called in some other way, whenever there are multiple
threads or processes accessing a database and at least one of them is modifying it.

OPTIONS


-a When a deadlock is detected, abort the locker:

m with the most locks

n with the fewest locks

o with the oldest lock

W with the most write locks

w with the fewest write locks

y with the youngest lock

When lock or transaction timeouts have been specified:

e abort any lock request that has timed out

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

-L Log the execution of the db5.3_deadlock utility to the specified file in the
following format, where ### is the process ID, and the date is the time the utility
was started.

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

This file will be removed if the db5.3_deadlock utility exits gracefully.

-t Check the database environment every sec seconds plus usec microseconds to see if
a process has been forced to wait for a lock; if one has, review the database
environment lock structures.

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

-v Run in verbose mode, generating messages each time the detector runs.

If the -t option is not specified, db5.3_deadlock will run once and exit.

The db5.3_deadlock 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, db5.3_deadlock should always be given the chance to detach from
the environment and exit gracefully. To cause db5.3_deadlock to release all environment
resources and exit cleanly, send it an interrupt signal (SIGINT).

The db5.3_deadlock utility does not attempt to create the Berkeley DB shared memory
regions if they do not already exist. The application which creates the region should be
started first, and then, once the region is created, the db5.3_deadlock utility should be
started.

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

The db5.3_deadlock 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.
