Agreed, patches welcome.
LDAP is one of those services that should always be available because it
is a core authentication service so don't understand why yours is
disconnecting.
you really don't want to restart services left and right on other
machines after you reboot the LDAP server after as example a kernel update
Agreed
Monitoring CAN fix this, nagios is used here at Persistent Objects but
any good monitoring software will work by checking if the service is
running and restart if not. Completely automatic and transparent to
users. Rarely kicks in as dbmail is so reliable.
Not sure why you are getting annoyed at dbmail, I would be frustrated at
LDAP as it is 100% reliable here.
as said: sometimes servers needs to be rebootet and stable services
should just reconnect or *really* die not just stop working, if DBMail
can't recover after lost of the LDAP connection it should just exit with
a error-status when it no longer works at all
in that case at least supervisors like systemd could restart it
automatically
Agreed, though the OP was under the impression that this could not be
fixed with monitoring which is not the case.

Hi,
Anyone a clue about this ? I think some monitoring can't fix this. So
I'm figuring out a solution.

Hi Guys,
I'm wondering why DBmail needs a restart every time it's disconnected
from the ldap server.
This actually kinda annoys me because it should just do a lookup if
needed and not have the connection open forever and die when it loses
it.
Anyone a clue why this happens and how to workaround it ?
Thanks!
