Fedora: Service is running, but service not found when attempting to restart

Question

Fedora 8:

When I run /sbin/service --status-all, I see

slapd (pid 2285) is running...

as expected. When I run /sbin/service slapd restart I get

slapd: unrecognized service

I don't see slapd under /etc/init.d/ either

Any ideas on how to access this service?

The service name (and the name of the init script) is ldap

	Also, Fedora 8 hasn't been supported for some time, you should consider upgrading :) – theotherreceive Mar 22 '10 at 21:06
	lovely. How come service names are always different than what the actual command is? – Jakobud Mar 22 '10 at 21:06
	Depends. Names of init scripts are usually dependant on the conventions used by the distribution. – theotherreceive Mar 22 '10 at 21:07
	Ya I'm taking over IT duties for a small company, everything is Fedora, which I'm planning on slowly changing. – Jakobud Mar 22 '10 at 21:26
