I'm building OpenLDAP version 2.4.40 from source but am unable to locate the init script. It does not install with 'make install'. Should this script be part of the source distribution?
Thanks,

a) Why are you building 2.4.40? It had some serious flaws. I'd advise 2.4.43.
b) OpenLDAP does not and never has, shipped an init script. Nor will it. :)

There is no init script included with the source distribution. Distro packages usually include their own. The LTB project also provides one. http://ltb-project.org/wiki/documentation/openldap-initscript
If you're building from source anyway, you might want to pick up a more recent version while you're at it - 2.4.40 contains several important bugs that have been fixed in later releases.

"init scripts", or systemd start scripts on Linux today, are usually platform-specific and are therefore most times provided by a system package.
Which OS are you talking about?
Ciao, Michael.
Thanks to all who replied and set me straight. I understand now why the source tarball does not include init scripts - talk about chasing a moving target.
Also, was not aware of the issues with 2.4.40, don't often have the time to stay up on the latest on all the project mailing lists. I'll d/l the latest version and move on with life.
I'll check the ltb-project for a script that supports my current fave linux, Debian.
Cheers, Chuck

Hello Chuck,
you can also use LTB project Debian packages, that includes the init script: http://ltb-project.org/wiki/documentation/openldap-deb#apt_repository
