If I try to import a manifest in a non-running zone (install and run
svccfg using chroot), I get the error

svccfg: Could not connect to repository server: repository server unavailable.

which is fine.  My question is, how can I tell if the repository server is
available?  Truss in a running zone shows svccfg opening
/etc/svc/volatile/repository_door.  Since this must be a well known name,
can I depend on it being stable?

I'd just run the import command but I don't want to go through acrobatics
filtering 'Could not connect' from other errors.
