Hi all There is a situation here when we migrating our service to be managed by SMF on solaris 10
We have a monitor process (say MONITOR) and main process (say MAIN) MONITOR starts MAIN and keep track of MAIN's status, MAIN may be stop and started by MONITOR. MAIN will start a number of subprocesses (say PLUGIN). MONITOR ----> MAIN -----> ( PLUGIN1, PLUGIN2, ...) Using SMF, we can just remove the MONITOR, let MAIN to be managed by SMF, If in contract mode, when I disable MAIN, all PLUGINs will be stoped, that's what I want But when I enable MAIN, Will SMF restart all the PLUGINs ? If so, that would be confusing, because MAIN is able to start all the PLUGINs its self. Is it possible that SMF just ignores these child processes and let my MAIN manage them independently? That means not all the (sub)processes are in on contract. Is child mode service an alternative? Thanks //James -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
