You only ned to do that if you are worried about a replication
protocol failure or a database failure. In normal operation it should
be enough to read the contextCSN attribute from the root of the
replicated subtree on each server:

#!/bin/sh
#
# check-replication

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH

for host in ermine.example.org trude.example.org
do                                                                                                  
        echo $host                                                                                  
        ldapsearch -LLL -x -H ldap://$host/ -b 'dc=example,dc=org' -s base contextCSN              
done                                                                                                


If the servers are in sync then the values you see will be identical
on all servers. If any of the values differ you can parse them to work
out how far out-of-date each server is.
