Matrix Server Processes and mxinit

When Matrix Server is running on a server, the following Matrix Server

processes should be active:

Do not terminate any of these processes; they are required for Matrix

Server operations.

Process Monitoring

The mxinit utility is started automatically as a daemon on each server

and monitors all Matrix Server processes running there. (You can start

another instance of mxinit to perform other tasks provided by the utility.)

If a Matrix Server process dies unexpectedly on a server, mxinit will

restart it if possible. However, certain process failures may force a restart

of that particular server.
