The Update Center team has a need for a cross-platform Actuator
implementation that supports User Images.

Tom and I have put together a proposal that we'd like to get
feedback on:

Keep in mind this implementation would only be used on user images and
would not be in play for OpenSolaris system images.

If there isn't an RFE on this already I'll go ahead and create one.

I'm not exactly sure why this is needed, since the commands invoked as
side effects run w/ the same priv. level as the components that are being run from the image.... this seems to propose a rich service-based
architecture for user-images, the details of which aren't disclosed here.

Do you propose to disallow creation of user images "off-line"? Or must
the commands be runnable whenever software is added?  How is failure
handled?

Why don't your start-up scripts handle this?  Do you anticipate adding
packages to a user image that is running services and have the new software dynamically added w/o restarting those services?
