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. -frank
