I have read filesystem(5). It says that /var/svc/manifest is the place for "SMF service manifests. An approved installation location for bundled, add-on system software and applications." What is the advantage of storing the service manifests in /var/svc/manifest? What happens if I don't store a manifest there? If the user deletes everything in /var/svc/manifest then will anything bad happen?
If you put a file into /var/svc/manifest/network/<service>.xml then it won't be picked up until reboot. That means I need to have a class script that does "svccfg import -f /var/svc/manifest/network/<service>.xml". If I do "svccfg import", then do I still need to still store the manifest in /var/svc/manifest? If so, why? Thanks, Brian
