VIRECOVER(8) BSD System Manager's Manual VIRECOVER(8)NAME
virecover -- report recovered vi edit sessions
SYNOPSIS
/usr/libexec/virecover
DESCRIPTION
The virecover utility sends emails to users who have vi(1) recovery files.
This email gives the name of the file that was saved for recovery and instructions for recovering most, if not all, of the changes to the
file. This is done by using the -r option with vi(1). See the -r option in vi(1) for details.
If the backup files have the execute bit set or are zero length, then they have not been modified, so virecover deletes them to clean up.
virecover also removes recovery files that are corrupted, zero length, or do not have a corresponding backup file.
virecover is normally run automatically at boot time using /etc/rc.d/virecover.
FILES
/var/tmp/vi.recover/recover.* vi(1) recovery files
/var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.* vi(1) editor backup files
SEE ALSO vi(1), rc.conf(5)HISTORY
This script, previously known as recover.script, is from nvi and was added to NetBSD in 1996. It was renamed in 2001.

ovdb_recover - Perform recovery on the ovdb database, if needed
SYNOPSYS
ovdb_recover [-f]
DESCRIPTION
Attempts to open the ovdb database, and if the database needs recovery, it attempts to perform the recovery. Similar in function to the
BerkeleyDB db_recover command.
Specify the `-f' option to force a recovery, even if the database appears to not need it. It is not an error to perform a recovery opera-
tion on a clean database. However, do not run `ovdb_recover -f' while the database is in use by any other processes.
Returns exit status of 0 if the database did not need recovery or if recovery succeeded, and returns exit status 1 if recovery failed. In
the latter case, the database may be damaged beyond repair, requiring a rebuild with makehistory(8).
This command is normally called automatically by rc.news(8).
