7.5. Starting and Stopping Servers
7.5.1. Starting and Stopping Directory Server
There are two ways to start, stop, or restart the Directory Server:
• There are scripts in the instance directories. For example:
/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-
instance
/start-slapd
/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-
instance
/restart-slapd
/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-
instance
/stop-slapd
• The Directory Server service can also be stopped and started using system tools on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux and Solaris. For example, Linux uses the
service
tool:
service dirsrv {start|stop|restart}
instance
Solaris uses
/etc/init.d
:
/etc/init.d/dirsrv {start|stop|restart}
instance
The Directory Server instance name can be specific in both the
start|stop|restart-slapd
and
system scripts. If an instance name is not given, the start or stop operation applies to all instances on
the machine.
7.5.2. Starting and Stopping Administration Server
There are two ways to start, stop, or restart the Administration Server:
• There are scripts in the
/usr/sbin
directory.
/usr/sbin/
start|stop|restart
-ds-admin
• The Administration Server service can also be stopped and started using system tools on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux and Solaris. For example, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the command is
service
:
service dirsrv-admin {start|stop|restart}
On Solaris, the service is
init.d
:
/etc/init.d/dirsrv-admin {start|stop|restart}
