What happens if rpc.ttdbserverd exits unexpectedly?

If rpc.ttdbserverd exits unexpectedly, inetd will start a new one to replace it. Data may be temporarily unavailable but no data will be lost. However, one or more API calls may return TT_ERR_DBAVAIL; if the call returns TT_OK, the dbserver will update the ToolTalk databases appropriately either immediately or when a new dbserver reads the crash recovery log.
