echo "'$NAME' is already running" since pgrep would return the running daemon's pid. Can you do ptree -c `pgrep inadyn` to see if the daemon is started by svc.startd? If the daemon is indeed running and not started by svc.startd, I'm guessing that killing the running daemon and restart it by 'svcadm clear inadyn' should work. > Let's start with the failure I have: > > -bash-3.00$ svcs -xv inadyn > svc:/network/ddns/client:inadyn (Dynamic DNS client) > State: maintenance since Mon Nov 13 12:07:39 2006 > Reason: Restarting too quickly. > See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-L5 > See: man -M /usr/local/man -s 8 inadyn > See: /var/svc/log/network-ddns-client:inadyn.log > Impact: This service is not running. > > and in the tail of the log, there is: > > -bash-3.00$ tail -20 /var/svc/log/network-ddns-client\:inadyn.log > [ Nov 13 19:14:11 Executing start method > ("/usr/local/lib/svc/method/inadyn-client start") ] > 'inadyn' is already running > [ Nov 13 19:14:12 Method "start" exited with status 0 ] > [ Nov 13 19:14:12 Stopping because all processes in service exited. ] > [ Nov 13 19:14:12 Executing stop method (:kill) ] > [ Nov 13 19:14:13 Executing start method > ("/usr/local/lib/svc/method/inadyn-client start") ] > 'inadyn' is already running > [ Nov 13 19:14:14 Method "start" exited with status 0 ] > [ Nov 13 19:14:14 Stopping because service disabled. ] > [ Nov 13 19:14:14 Executing stop method (:kill) ] > > The manifest is attached, but the start method is: > > <exec_method type='method' name='start' > exec='/usr/local/lib/svc/method/inadyn-client %m' > timeout_seconds='300'> > <method_context> > <method_credential user="root" group="root"/> > </method_context> > </exec_method> > > which uses the inadyn-client script (that I wrote), containing the > following lines (code edited): > > #!/sbin/sh > > . /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh > > NAME=inadyn > DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/$NAME > . > . > . > case $1 in > start) > if [ ! -x $DAEMON ]; then > echo "$DAEMON is not executable, not starting" > exit $SMF_EXIT_ERR_CONFIG > fi > if [ ! -r $CONF ]; then > echo "$CONF not readable, not starting" > exit $SMF_EXIT_ERR_CONFIG > fi > if pgrep $NAME >/dev/null; then > echo "'$NAME' is already running" > else > $DAEMON & > sleep 1 > fi > ;; > . > . > . > esac > > exit $SMF_EXIT_OK > > When I call the 'inadyn-client' script directly, the daemon starts well > and keeps going without a glitch, but when svc.startd tries to start it, > it decides somehow that "all processes in the service exited".
