Description Stefan Kremen 2016-12-12 17:25:58 UTC 
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

Comment 1 Matus Honek 2016-12-19 09:42:50 UTC 
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.

test case modified to expected behaviour and closing this ticket.
