Xu,

I am in the process of testing a script to deal with this issue.  This
start_notify script uses 'if STREAM_NUMBER=1 then' <put our database in hot
backup mode>.  Each stream that starts creates it's own tmp file named
stream"$STREAM_NUMBER".active.  Each stream that ends deletes it's own
stream"$STREAM_NUMBER".active file and looks for any others.  If any other
.active files exist, the script just exits, otherwise, it brings the
database out of hot backup mode.
We will set up a cron job to pull the database out of hotbackup in the
mornings and clean up any leftover .active files just in case the end_notify
fails for any reason.

Good Luck,
Melinda Orms
