It still doesn't make sense to stop slapd in logrotate. Seems I was unclear: It's the process which writes to the log which must be HUPped, so it'll stop writing to the rotated logfile. That's syslogd, not slapd. Unless you're doing 'slapd 2>slapd.log &'. (Or it's rsyslogd or klogd or whatever. Ask 'ps'.)

why are you stopping and starting slapd ? This does not make any sense.
