I'm new on smf and configured following services --------------------- SNIP ------------------------------------- fmri svc:/site/exim:default name Exim SMTP-Server enabled true state online next_state none state_time Sat Nov 10 23:03:19 2007 logfile /var/svc/log/site-exim:default.log restarter svc:/system/svc/restarter:default contract_id 54 dependency require_all/error svc:/system/filesystem/local (online) dependency require_all/error svc:/milestone/network (online) dependency require_all/error svc:/site/dovecot (maintenance) dependency require_all/error svc:/network/dns/client (online)
fmri svc:/site/dovecot:default name Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Server enabled true state maintenance next_state none state_time Sat Nov 10 23:06:08 2007 logfile /var/svc/log/site-dovecot:default.log restarter svc:/system/svc/restarter:default contract_id dependency require_all/error svc:/system/filesystem/local (online) dependency require_all/error svc:/milestone/network (online) dependency require_all/error svc:/system/system-log (online) --------------------- SNIP ------------------------------------- Now im wondering myself because i had set the dovecot-service to maintenance and the dependent service exim is running further. I thinked smf recognise over the dependencies which services should go offline, but it doesn't. Is this the normal behaviour of smf? My original problem was that smf didn't recognise that the dovecot-processes died. After the startup all processes of dovecot died, but smf is saying that the service is "online". Any idea?
