I create a single service with an instance for each mongrel. The
start exec_method calls a shell script that first deletes the pid file
if it exists then runs mongrel directly with all the options as
arguments, no config file. Right now we are just using :kill in the
stop exec_method. Note the property group for the authorizations in
the service section. This is what is used to allow a specific non
root user to control this service via svcadm in conjunction with an
entry in /etc/user_attr. So far it's working pretty well but we still
need to make some adjustments, like telling the system to back off a
bit and send a notification if mongrel won't start, setting resource
limits, etc..
/etc/user_attr:
www::::auths=solaris.smf.manage.mongrel
