Yes, but those transactions have already been commited, right? At least in
my case db_archive shows no log files in use.

Thanks, I'll try this. One catch is that cyrus has to be running so that
a checkpoint can be made. 

Which brings me to the next question, when cyrus is cleanly shut down, does it
perform a checkpoint? If not, then perhaps this should be added to the shutdown
scripts.

If I run "db_archive" in the DB environment, I get no log files listed, which 
seems to indicate that all transactions have already been commited. Perhaps 
just a coincidence in my very low traffic environment?
