An old script of mine for backup LDAP data. Crica 16 Oct 2005. Im going to rewrite this for backup LDAP in SongketMail.

#!/bin/bash

DATE=`/bin/date +%Y-%m-%d`

/bin/echo "LDAP LDIF BACKUP START : `/bin/date`" >> /home/ldif/backup_ldif.log

# stop ldap service

/bin/echo "/etc/init.d/ldap stop" >> /home/ldif/backup_ldif.log

/etc/init.d/ldap stop 2>> /home/ldif/backup_ldif.log

# start backup

/bin/echo "/usr/sbin/slapcat -b "dc=harisfazillah,dc=com,dc=my" -l /home/ldif/linuxmalaysia_$DATE.ldif" >> /home/ldif/backup_ldif.log

/usr/sbin/slapcat -b "dc=harisfazillah,dc=com,dc=my" -l /home/ldif/linuxmalaysia_$DATE.ldif 2>> /home/ldif/backup_ldif.log

# start ldap service

/bin/echo "/etc/init.d/ldap start" >> /home/ldif/backup_ldif.log

/etc/init.d/ldap start 2>> /home/ldif/backup_ldif.log

/bin/echo "LDAP LDIF BACKUP FINISH : `/bin/date`" >> /home/ldif/backup_ldif.log 

exit
