RE: slapd shuts down for no reason

Hi,

Fall back to legacy unix...sorry logrotate is more appropriate.  Yes, yours
is very similar to how ours looked and it would stop the daemon fine, and
rotate the log but would not restart.  I modified it to look like this:

   ....
           /etc/init.d/slapd stop; sleep 5; /etc/init.d/slapd start


why are you stopping and starting slapd ?  This does not make any sense.

Greetings

   ....

Commenting out the "/bin/kill -s HUP syslogd".

Now, it does what it is supposed to do.

We had a similar issue a few months back.  I discovered that it was
dying at about the same time.  Come to find out it was syslog rotation
that was doing it.  Syslog sends a HUP signal to rotate the logs and
restart a daemon.  I had to put a sleep statement in the syslog for slapd.


Your syslog rotates logs?  On our host (RedHat) it's logrotate which does
that.  And it's logrotate which must kill -HUP syslogd, to make syslogd
close and reopen the log.  From logrotate.conf:

notifempty
missingok
create  0640 ldap cerebrum
start   0

/ldap/log/syslog/openldap.log {
       size=250M
       rotate  2500
       compress
       delaycompress
       lastaction
               /bin/kill -s HUP syslogd
       endscript
}
