Amalgamation of Bernd's last list of suggestion: Bernd> 1.1 Short listing of SMF files and directories: Bernd> more detailed about the sub directories Bernd> and files in the svc directories.
How much more detail? Bernd> 2.1 How can I allow user X to control service Y? Bernd> A hint that the information in the repository is readable by all Bernd> users would be useful. Don't understand how this fits in with question. Bernd> 2.4 How do I back up the repository? Bernd> risk that such a copy won't be self-consistent if Bernd> svc.configd makes a change during the copy. Bernd> You could use pstop on svc.configd before makeing the copy Bernd> (see) http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=38593雁) Bernd> and use sqlite to check the integrity of the copied repository: I don't know if this FAQ should be telling people to manually pstop svc.configd every so often to take db backup. Is there a burning need to do this right now? I'd rather we just pile-on to the BugID. >> 3.12 Why is network/physical hanging? Bernd> A work around or RFE is missing Err... undo what is described is not enough? Bernd> Also a hint to /lib/svc/share/smf_includes.sh (including a short Bernd> description of the function, variables and return codes defined Bernd> in that file) would be useful I want to insert a general guideline on which file in /lib/svc/share can be used for what purpose. I don't have this information. Takers? Bernd> a special entry that explains that methods are called Bernd> asynchronously Can you pose a practical question? Bernd> 1.3 Short listing of relevant SMF man pages: Bernd> inetconv, inetd, svc.configd, smf_restarter, and servic_bundle Bernd> 4.1 How do I write an SMF manifest? Bernd> Add additional infos about which manifest to use as example: Bernd> how to list the processes monitored by a service Bernd> how to change the current milestone Done. Bernd> GUI I haven't kept up with Webmin, has it advanced much? I'm not going to include it if it clutters, I suppose I should say "a GUI is coming with vpanel" but that's so vague. Bernd> A section with links to more indepth information would be useful. Ha! I don't know where that would be, your FAQ, this FAQ, Liane's blog, The dev intro, and the man pages.
