Verifying `ldap_cachemgr` Is Running

The ldap_cachemgr daemon must be running and functioning correctly at all times. Otherwise, the system doesn't work. There are two ways to check if ldap_cachemgr is running.

Use the ps command with the ef option.
# ps -ef | grep ldap_cachemgr

Pass the -g option to ldap_cachemgr.

This option provided status information, which is useful when you are diagnosing a problem.

# /usr/lib/ldap/ldap_cachemgr -g
