Hello All,
I work a lot with SMF and I really like the framework. There are just two
features that me and my students (I teach Solaris courses) are missing in SMF
and I was wondering if we are the only ones. I'm suggesting adding the
following features to OpenSolaris (RFE CR 6530523).
first feature is a simple way of looking at a service log file. Nowadays I have
to first find the logfile name with svcs -l fmri and than do a cat/more/less on
the file name found. I'm suggesting adding a command to OpenSolaris that will
take a fmri as argument and then display the content of the log file.
The second feature is finding a the methods of a service easily. To find the
names of the methods used by a service again takes multiple steps. First take a
look in the log file and then do a cat on the method name found. It's also
possible to find this information with svcprop but I always forget the
properties used for storing the start and stop methods.
Am I alone in wanting this features in OpenSolaris?
Greetings,
Peter
I created two shell scripts to show you what I'm after.
Examples:
# svclog ssh
... output skipped ...
[ Feb 21 10:51:08 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/sshd start") ]
[ Feb 21 10:51:11 Method "start" exited with status 0
# svcmethods ssh
fmri svc:/network/ssh:default
logfile /var/svc/log/network-ssh:default.log
start method /lib/svc/method/sshd start
stop method :kill
