RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
======================
Using "service slapd condrestart" restarts correctly when slapd is running:
# service slapd start
Starting slapd: [ OK ]
# service slapd condrestart
Stopping slapd: [ OK ]
Starting slapd: [ OK ]
# service slapd status
slapd (pid 2527) is running...
# echo $?
0
But condrestart doesn't restart slapd when it is stopped:
# service slapd stop
Stopping slapd: [ OK ]
# service slapd condrestart
# echo $?
0
# service slapd status
slapd is stopped
# echo $?
3
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Additional info:
===============
Is not this the expected behaviour? I cannot find a manpage for sysV specifically but the systemd's equivalent should be the `try-restart` command of systemctl(1) (of course not to be found in RHEL-6) which has also an (undocumented?) `condrestart` option; quoting the manpage: Restart one or more units specified on the command line if the units are running. This does nothing if units are not running.
