Hi,
I have cut together a prototype of an SMF boot script for Networker.
This is specifically for Solaris 10 environments since it uses
the new FMA/SMF/Manifest facilities to start/stop applications.
I got tired of waiting for EMC/Legato to do this, so I cut my own.
The benefits of using a native SMF facility for starting Legato
over the old /etc/rc?.d/ scripts is that any startup errors
are logged and if the nsrexecd daemon dies on a client, it
will automatically attempt to restart it. Also the old rc script
methods are going away, so this is an attempt to future proof
Legato until they implement the new methods themselves.
I will not post the scripts and procedures here, but
if anyone is interested, I will pass them on and include
the procedures to enable this feature.
Also, I want comments and improvements so we can harden this up
a bit more.
Perhaps someone will host the stuff for me as well?!
So far it appears to work fine, but testing is appreciated.
