As this script never ends, the start method never returns its exit code to SMF -> and the service never goes to the online state. A way to do what you want is to create another script to start yours and return the appropriate SMF exit codes if the startup can be done correctly --> your script would be started in background (&). > > Also, there are exit conditions.

Of course don't use -s here :) HTH, Cheers, William. > This stuff is too simple to write it as a real daemon, ie - a > non-scripting low-level language. > > CT > _______________________________________________ > smf-discuss mailing list > smf-discuss at opensolaris.org
