I have the problem that slapd (v1.2.11-1.sc) dies about once a month.

I execute this little perlscript once every five minutes:

(it's started like: 'check_slapd.pl slapd')

----- s n i p -----
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$pid     = '';
$dummy   = '';
$PROCESS = '';
$DEBUG   = 0;

if( $ARGV[0] ) {
    $PROCESS = $ARGV[0];

    open(LIST, "/bin/ps axwww |");
    $dummy = <LIST>;

    print "Searching for $PROCESS...\n" if($DEBUG);

    while(<LIST>) {
	@ps_list = split;

	if( $ps_list[4] =~ /$PROCESS/ ) {
	    print "Found: $ps_list[4] (pid: $ps_list[0])\n" if($DEBUG);

	    $pid = $ps_list[0];
	}
    }

    if(! $pid) {
	print "Restarting slapd!!\n";
	exec("/etc/init.d/openldapd start");
    }
    
    #exit($pid);
} else {
    print "Usage: check_slapd <process>\n";
    exit( 0 );
}
