RE: killing slapd

["Matthew Hardin" <mhardin@symas.com>]

You should be using the grave accent character (`) to surround the cat
command instead of the single quote character ('). Leaving aside the true
location of the slapd.pid file, which I assume is correct, the command
should look as follows:

	kill -INT `cat /usr/local/var/slapd.pid`

Hope this helps,
