This is Red Hat, yes?

I really shouldn't worry. The two green [ OK ]s are all you have to
worry about - if something's wrong, you'll get a red FAILED. I get what
you mention often on RH 7.2, depending on what slapd has been doing and
what the process pids are.

If you take a look at /etc/rc.d/ldap, you'll see that it reads in
./functions. 'restart' is 'stop', then start. 'stop' calls function
'killproc' but 'killproc' (./functions) is a compound thing, it's not a
normal Linux command.[which|whence|locate] killproc doesn't find
anything. But look further in ./functions' and try 'whence pidof' - that
does :-)

RH people don't seem to be curious. Like "where do the pretty green and
red OK and FAIL on the console come from? How does "service start' and
'service stop' work? Etc.

Sleep soundly :-)
