The service management stuff introduced in Solaris 10 has this capability, as well as some other nice bits of sophistication. For instance, when a service is restarted, it will automatically restart any services whose operation depends on that service. Anyone working on services might want to peruse their svcs(1) and smf(5) for ideas. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
