Some of you might recall our problems with DirectoryService
(10.3.9) hanging every ~2 weeks, effectively breaking all services
that use OD. The only "fix" to date is to kill the
DirectoryService pid and start it up again. The problem hasn't
gone away yet, so I've resorted to "therapeutic restarts", hoping
this will prevent whatever is causing this lockup.
It appears that "serveradmin [stop|start] dirserv" will be
sufficient, but I'm looking for someone who can confirm this before
I attempt this on a production server. Anyone?
I would just 'killall DirectoryService'. initd will restart it as
needed.
