Bug #788: OpenLDAP RPM: Restart slapd service after upgrade
http://tools.lsc-project.org/issues/788

Author: Jens Vagelpohl
Status: New
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: OpenLDAP RPM
Target version: openldap-rpm-?


When the RPM for the standard distribution-supplied server processes such as 
Apache, MariaDB, etc. is updated via "yum update" the server process is 
restarted if it was running before the update. The OpenLDAP-LTB RPM, however, 
does not restart the server process. This makes it unpractical to use automatic 
updates from the LTB yum repository because manual intervention is required.

It is true that some deployments may need manual control over service startup 
or shutdown during an upgrade, but the vast majority of your RPM users will be 
served much better if the LTB RPM behaved like any other standard RPM and 
restarted the slapd daemon if it was running before the upgrade. I have been 
caught several times when the RPM had been updated by the nighly yum run and 
all my sites and mail delivery had become unavailable because slapd was dead.
