If you want to compose a live check without navigating /proc, just
source /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh, and invoke the smf_present shell
function:
smf_present () {
[ -r /etc/svc/volatile/repository_door ] && \
[ ! -f /etc/svc/volatile/repository_door ]
}
or implement similar using whatever language feature allows access to
stat(2) inquiries.
