LDAP process getting killed

akash_mahakode · #1 (**permalink**) 1 Week Ago

Hi all,

Currently I am using LDAP to store some network related data, When I run following script

Code:

./ns-slapd ldif2db

Execution of above script terminates displaying "Killed" on the console.

As far as I know, a process can be killed by two ways-
1. manually running " kill -9 <PID of LDAP process>"
2. If this process asks for more memory than expected from kernel, then kernel may kill this process.

But I am using 8 GB Solaris box, so I don't think that Kernel will kill this process due to less memory.

Can anyone help me out to find out how this process is getting killed or any sort of system logs from which I can figure out whether any third process killed this?

Regards,
akash mahakode

A process can be killed by other ways than being using the "kill -9" command. Moreover, a process can commit suicide for many reasons.

You can use that command's last output lines to probably get clues about what is killing the process:

Code:

truss -f ./ns-slapd ldif2db
