      ok, so there are two questions

      - why doesn't the script work

      - is th escript necesseray

      
      To see why the script isn't working, could you provide the full
      script and commandline of your latest attempt

      
      I think the doc is not fully correct. If a consumer is taken
      offline the supplier can no longer reach it and will try in
      increasing intervals, up to 5 mins, but in my understanding it
      should retry every 5 mins. If the cinsumer comes online the
      supplier does not know about this, and so it could be up to 5 mins
      until the next retry. If you really want immediate respons from
      the supplier the the suplier has to be notified eg by this script.

      But if the consumer has been offline for some time it could
      probaly be acceptable to wait the 5 extra mins

          As per RHES doc:

          https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/9.0/html/Administration_Guide/Managing_Replication-Forcing_Replication_Updates.html#Forcing_Replication_Updates-Forcing_Replication_Updates_from_the_Command_Line

           
           "Even if the replication agreements are
            configured to keep the supplier and consumer servers always in sync, it is not
            sufficient to bring back up-to-date a
              server that has been offline for over five minutes.
            The Always Keep in Sync
            option means that the server generates a replication
            operation for every update operation it processes. However,
            if this replication operation cannot be performed because
            the consumer is offline, the operation times out after 10
            minutes. 
          11.15.2. Forcing Replication Updates from the Command Line
           From the consumer that requires updating,
            run a script that prompts the supplier to send replication
            updates immediately. This script is shown in Example 11.5,


              “replicate_now Script Example”. 
           Copy this example script and name it
            something like replicate_now.sh.
            Substitute the actual values for the variables listed in Example 11.5,


              “replicate_now Script Example”. 
          
            
              NOTE
            
            
               This script must be run manually since
                it cannot be configured to run automatically as soon as
                the server, which was offline, comes back online
                again."''

        Hi LIst, 

          I'm new to 389-ds  admin , I have cfg a multimaster
          replication system , and read the RHES -DS documentation  find
          the replicate_now script which is suppose to trigger master
          rep updates < 10 min, the script fails , there is no option
          for -1 in ldapsearch ...etc

          389-ds on CentoS 6.5 .
