# Moo Database Browser

## Lobotomizer

Very occasionally a Moo database will get into a corrupted state that will no longer load. This is usually due to fork bombed tasks, zombie connections or invalid clocks. In these cases it is usually acceptable to strip off the final four blocks of the database and replace them with empty placeholders:
`0 clocks
0 queued tasks
0 suspended tasks
0 active connections with listeners`

moolobotomize.py is a command-line tool that parses a Moo database file, locates the final four status blocks and replaces them. The lobotomized database is printed to standard output (you probably wish to pipe this to a file, not the original db file).
