34 <PRE>><i>My shell provider likes to crash a lot and
90% of the time my databases
35 </I>><i>get corrupt. So I wrote a simple perl script that every
12 hours
36 </I>><i>archives the current databases. I was wondering if there was some way
37 </I>><i>that right before my script runs it could signal services to save to
38 </I>><i>disk? Thanks.
40 You can't do this, but if you keep UpdateTimeout (in services.conf)
41 low enough then you shouldn't have much data loss--especially since your
42 backup interval is
12 hours anyway, so an extra
30 minutes (default) give
43 or take won't make a significant difference.
