This is way more than we do within most services. :) If you just need to check whether SMF is currently available on your system from a shell script, we've provided smf_present() in the /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh file. It looks for configd's door, which is a good check to see if the system has been booted a userland that supports SMF. I haven't piped up with this before because it's less suitable from within Java. liane
