ldapstop(1Mldap)

ldapstop -- stop slapd daemons

Synopsis

ldapstop all

ldapstop -d number

ldapstop -i id

Description

The ldapstop command stops slapd(1Mldap) daemons, using information in the /etc/ldap/ldaptab file. ldapstop also stops the appropriate slurpd(1Mldap) daemon if required.

For each daemon being stopped, this command looks for the slapd process ID in /var/ldap/pids/pidfile, where pidfile is generated from the pathname of the configuration file used by slapd. For example, if a slapd process is started using the file, /etc/ldap/adm/test/slapd.conf, then the slapd process will create the file /var/ldap/pids/_etc_ldap_adm_test_slapd.conf.

The file is created when the slapd daemon starts. If this file is missing, then ldapstop will not be able stop the slapd daemon: the administrator should find the appropriate slapd process and use kill -TERM pid to stop the daemon.

slurpd PID information is written to the file /var/ldap/pids/slurpd/pidfile, where pidfile is generated in the same way as the example slapd file above.

Note that if two slapd processes share a port, ldapstop will not stop both processes.

ldapstop all is used by /etc/init.d/ldap to stop all LDAP daemons.

Options

all: Stops all the daemons listed in the ldaptab file.
-d number: Stops a particular daemon from the ldaptab file, where number corresponds to the number-th daemon listed in ldaptab.
-i: Starts a particular daemon from the ldaptab file, where id corresponds to the ``identifier'' field in the ldaptab file.
