Chapter 7. 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.
7.1. Finding and Executing Command-Line Scripts
Most Directory Server-related scripts are located in the /usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name
directory for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (32-bit) (and in /usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 64-bit systems). A few are located in the /usr/bin directory. The exact
locations are listed in Section 7.2, “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.
7.2. Command-Line Scripts Quick Reference
The following shell and Perl scripts are located in either the
/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name (for 32-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux) or
/usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name (for 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux) directory.
Table 7.1 . Shell Scripts in /usr/lib/dirsrv/sla pd- instance_name or
/usr/lib64 /dirsrv/slapd-instance_name
