You don't have to stop any servers, or anythng. Each server only has to
ask the monitor if it may open the database, and to notify it when it
closes it. When the monitor detects a crashed process, it starts denying
access to the database until all other processes have backed out, runs
recovery, then allows access again.
At least, that's the general idea.
