What are the intended contents of SMF_METHOD in the method execution
environment? The documentation just says:
SMF_METHOD The full method name of the method that is
invoked
and later also describes property expansion:
%m Name of the method, such as start or stop
This seems to imply that SMF_METHOD should contain "start" or similar.
But in fact at usr/src/cmd/svc/startd/method.c:exec_method(), we have:
setlog(inst->ri_logstem);
log_instance(inst, B_FALSE, "Executing %s method (\"%s\")",
method_names[type], method);
...
nenv = set_smf_env(mcp->env, mcp->env_sz, NULL, inst, method);
So that when a method is invoked, SMF_METHOD actually contains
/lib/svc/method/foo (or whatever command we are invoking).
It's hard to know which is intended because nothing I can find
actually uses this variable (of course, if its purpose is to replicate
$0, that's understandable).
