`killall -HUP DirectoryService` doesn't work for you?
this is what I have used. but I wasn't sure if it restarted
everything needed.
A HUP seems to be used to tell DS that a network transition just
occured.
On the other hand, a TERM cleanly shuts down DS (which would then
be relaunched by launchd, hence a full reinitialization of the
daemon).
Now, what do you mean by "everything needed"?
Perhaps does your original question have a broader scope than just
the DS daemon?

thanks for the reply.
I'm not familiar with the usage of a TERM, can you give me an
example ?
This is covered in the kill man page.
kill sends signals to processes. HangUP and TERMinate and KILL are
common.
the "everything needed" ( which i am not clear about )
-- i was thinking ,..slapd, password service, lookupd, any
information about local users. I would like to kick start.
There is no lookupd anymore. What version of OS X are you running?
More importantly what is it that you are trying to do?
