They aren't. I think I should have changed the subject line.
(I've done that now.) And probably switched to another mail list.
(SMF? I hesitated because I hate cross-posting.)
I wasn't just talking about boot order. That probably wasn't clear.
That's just one of the many problems that could be solved by what I
suggested. And that was SMF across machines, which is what a cluster
or a Service Oriented Architecture is about, and which is what we
almost have with SMF. A real thing instead of all this marketing buzz
around SOA.
I mean this:
<dependency name='my-great-database' type='service'
grouping='require_all' restart_on='none'>
<service_fmri value='svc://dbhost/application/postgresql' />
</dependency>
Wouldn't that be nice?
Do you see that attribute "restart_on"?
No, I won't ask the question that you mentioned up where I added the
[***] comment. I already know how to to that with SMF.
So, should we move this to the SMF list? Or forget it?
(As I said, there are most likely people who have thought about this.)
