Chapter 9. Command-Line Scripts
This chapter provides information on the scripts for managing Red Hat Directory Server, such as backing-up and restoring the database. Scripts are a shortcut way of executing the
ns-slapd interface commands that are documented in Appendix A, Using the ns-slapd Command-Line Utilities.
9.1. Finding and Executing Command-Line Scripts
Most Directory Server-specific scripts are located in the
/usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-instance/slapd-instance_name on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (64-bit) directory (or /usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (32-bit)). A few are located in the /usr/bin directory. The exact locations are listed in Section 9.2, “Command-Line Scripts Quick Reference”.
When scripts request either a directory name or a filename, always provide the absolute path. The scripts assume the
dse.ldif file is located in the /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name directory.
Where did the comment section go?
