Sexy looking code and step-by-step.  I'm sure someone will find this of 
some use at some point.

Recently I asked the list if anyone had installed James on Solaris 10 under
the SMF system.

Getting no replies I set about doing it myself. I was successful.

 

First I extracted the James files into /opt/james-2.3.2 and tested it with a
manual start using

/opt/james-2.3.2/bin/phoenix.sh start

 

I found I had to set the JAVA_HOME variable somewhere for it to work. That's
OK, I set this variable in the startup script.

 

Next I created a file named /lib/svc/method/svc-james 

As follows:

 

<***begin listing of svc-james>

#!/sbin/sh

 

# Thanks to Eric MacAdie for the basis of this script:

jamesStartupScript.html

 

. /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh

 

# edit JAVA_HOME to reflect your own java environment

JAVA_HOME=/usr/j2se

export JAVA_HOME

 

CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar

 

  case "$1" in

  'start')

          /opt/james-2.3.2/bin/phoenix.sh start

          ;;

  'stop')

          /opt/james-2.3.2/bin/phoenix.sh stop

         ;;

  'restart')

          /opt/james-2.3.2/bin/phoenix.sh stop

          sleep 60

          /opt/james-2.3.2/bin/phoenix.sh start

          ;;

  *)

          echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | restart }"

          ;;

  esac

  exit 0

<***end listing of svc-james>

 

I set permissions on this file as:

-r-xr-xr-x

to match the others in the directory.

 

Next I created a file named /var/svc/manifest/network/james.xml 

As follows:

 

<***begin listing james.xml>

<?xml version='1.0'?>

 <!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM
'/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1'>

         <exec_method

                 timeout_seconds='-1'>

                <method_context working_directory='/var/james'>

                       <method_credential user='root' group='bin' />

                </method_context>

</exec_method>

 

  <exec_method

                 type='method'

                 name='restart'

                 exec='/lib/svc/method/svc-james restart'

         </exec_method>

 

 

 

 </service>

 

 </service_bundle>

 

<***end listing james.xml>

 

Next I created the directory /var/james

to match the working directory in james.xml. It won't work without it.

 

From within /var/svc/manifest/network/
I ran the command:

svccfg validate ./james.xml

 

Then I ran the command:

svccfg import ./james.xml

 

with the file successfully validated and imported I ran:

svcadm enable james

 

and tested with:

telnet localhost 25

 

The mail server answered perfectly.

 

I used: 

svcadm disable james

and the mail server no longer answered  using telnet.

 

Finally I re-ran

svcadm enable james

and my James server now starts automatically at boot time and will self heal
if anything goes wrong during runtime.

 

Hopefully others will find this useful.
