(in this case, {{EX: -d 65}}). Or, you can let slapd do the
math, (e.g. {{EX: -d 1 -d 64}}). Consult {{EX: <ldap.h>}} for
math, (e.g. {{EX: -d 1 -d 64}}). Consult {{F: <ldap.h>}} for
more details.
Note: slapd must have been compiled with {{EX:-DLDAP_DEBUG}}
defined for any debugging information beyond the two stats levels
to be available.
E: -f <filename>
This option specifies an alternate configuration file for slapd.
E: -p <port>
This option specifies an alternate TCP port on which slapd should
listen for connections. The default port is 389.
H2: Starting slapd
In general, slapd is run like this:
E: $(ETCDIR)/slapd [<option>]*
E: /usr/local/etc/libexec/slapd [<option>]*
where ETCDIR has the value you gave in the Make-common file
during the pre-build configuration, and <option> is one of the
options described below. Unless you have specified a debugging
level, slapd will automatically fork and detach itself from its
controlling terminal and run in the background. Any of the options
given above can be given to slapd to point it at a different
configuration file, listen on another port, etc.
where {{F:/usr/local/etc/libexec}} is determined by {{EX:configure}}.
and <option> is one of the options described above (or in {{slapd}}(8)).
Unless you have specified a debugging level (including level {{EX:0}}),
slapd will automatically fork and detach itself from its controlling
terminal and run in the background.
H2: Stopping slapd
To kill off slapd safely, you should give a command like this
E: kill -TERM `cat $(ETCDIR)/slapd.pid`
E: kill -TERM `cat /usr/local/var/slapd.pid`
Killing slapd by a more drastic method may cause its LDBM
databases to be corrupted, as it may need to flush various buffers
before it exits. Note that slapd writes its pid to a file called
{{EX: slapd.pid}} in the {{EX: ETCDIR}} you configured in
{{EX: Make-common}}. You can change
the location of this pid file by changing the {{EX: SLAPD_PIDFILE}}
variable in {{EX: include/ldapconfig.h.edit}}.
{{I: Slapd}} will also write its arguments to a file called
{{EX: slapd.args}} in the {{EX: ETCDIR}} you configured
in {{EX: Make-common}}. You can change the
location of the args file by changing the {{EX: SLAPD_ARGSFILE}}
variable in {{EX: include/ldapconfig.h.edit}}.
where {{F:/usr/local/var}} is determined by {{EX:configure}}.
Killing slapd by a more drastic method may cause its information
loss or database corruption.
