I like the syntax # installadm add-manifest -n <my_service> -f <manifest_input_file> In fact, that's about the only way I can see myself managing an AI server. Two things would make this even easier: # installadm export -n <my_service> which would simply spit out the manifest_input_file corresponding to the current configuration, and # installadm import -n <my_service> -f <manifest_input_file> which would simply replace the entire configuration with the new one. So basically, to update I would export, modify, and stick it back. To replicate, just export on one server and import somewhere else. To my mind, the manifest_input_file is the primary object; all the other (add-manifest, remove-manifest, update-criteria) subcommands are just ways to manipulate subsections of that object. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
