FWIW, the 'stop' stanza of my /etc/init.d/slapd is below.  It sends a
-INT and keeps trying, preventing the box from going down until slapd's
done.

'stop')
   if [ -f /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid ]
   then
           pid=`cat /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid`
           res=`ps -efl | grep slapd | grep $pid`
           if [ "$res" != "" ]
           then
                kill -INT `cat /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid`
                echo "-INT sent to slapd"
                sleep 1
                res=`ps -efl | grep slapd | grep $pid`
                while [ "$res" != "" ]
                do
                        echo "slapd still running, waiting..."
                        sleep 1
                        res=`ps -efl | grep slapd | grep $pid`
                done
                echo "slapd stopped"
           else
                echo "PID file found, but slapd not running"
           fi
   else
        echo "slapd not running"
   fi

This all really depends on your OS vendor's implementation of
'shutdown' and/or 'init'.  Since you're using linux, you can probably
look it up, but this goes beyond the scope of this list.
