OES Linux Service Scripts
Novell
®
OES services rely on specific service scripts located in /etc/init.d. The scripts used by OES,
some of which are standard Linux scripts, are listed in Table E-1 .
IMPORTANT: For managing OES services, we strongly recommend using the browser-based tools outlined in
Section 14.1, “Overview of Management Tools and Interfaces,” on page 91
. The browser-based tools provide error checking not available at the service-script level, and they ensure that management steps happen in the sequence required to maintain service integrity.

Services Associated with Scripts

Script Name
apache2 eDirectory TM eDirectory LDAP support nd nldap
Notes
The rcapache2 symbolic link, which is by default part of the path, can be used to start, stop, and restart the Apache Web Server, rather than referencing the init script directly.
This lets you start and stop eDirectory. It executes the /usr/sbin/ndsd binary.
This lets you load and unload the LDAP library that Novell eDirectory uses to provide LDAP support. It is not actually a service.

Script Name Notes
novell-ncs NCS uses some shell scripts and utilities that come with the heartbeat package. For example, NCS uses a binary called send_arp to send out ARP packets when a secondary address is bound.
NCS never runs the heartbeat daemons. In fact, NCS and heartbeat are mutually exclusive when it comes to execution, and heartbeat must always be configured to not run (chkconfig heartbeat off) when NCS is loaded on the server.
novell-ifolder novell-httpstkd This script runs by default on every OES Linux server and enables access to NRM for Linux through a browser.
Use this script followed by the status option to view current status. Or use stop, start, or restart options to alter the run state of the NRM daemon as needed.
