In doing some testing I found that the following doesn't work:
<pre>
<exec_method name='start' type='method' exec='./testing %m %s %i'
timeout_seconds='60'>
<method_context working_directory="/home/benr/svn/smf/test/" />
</exec_method>
</pre>
By all rights it should. The trick to getting it working is to specify a user
and group via method_credential. Thus, the following _does_ work:
<pre>
<exec_method name='start' type='method' exec='./testing %m %s %i'
timeout_seconds='60'>
<method_context working_directory="/home/benr/svn/smf/test/">
<method_credential user="root" group="staff"/>
</method_context>
</exec_method>
</pre>
This seems like a bug to me. Nothing in the DTD or man pages suggests to me
that I need to specify the user (beyond any obvious permissions issues
potential) for a working directory to be set.
The existing bugs that I see are fairly vague, so I'm not sure if this is
covered by one of them or not.
For reference, I'm doing this testing by calling the following transient method:
<pre>
# Include SMF convience library:
. /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh
# This script is invoked thusly:
# testing %m %s %i
echo "Method: ${1}"
echo "Service: ${2}"
echo "Instance: ${3}"
echo "PWD is: $PWD"
echo "HOME is: $HOME"
echo "UID is: $UID"
env
exit $SMF_EXIT_OK
</pre>
Thanks.
benr.
