Simple template-like smf configuration
Posted on February 10th, 2010
Creation of new services in Solaris 10 is simple. The following example covers configuring and starting snmptrapd daemon. Example may be used as a template for simple services, quick and dirty way.
First, we create xml configuration file, in our case snmptrapd.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM '/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1'> <service_bundle type="manifest" name="nagios"> <service name="site/snmptrapd" type="service" version="1"> <create_default_instance enabled="true"/> <single_instance/> <dependency name="milestone" grouping="require_all" restart_on="none" type="service"> <service_fmri value="svc:/milestone/multi-user"/> </dependency> <exec_method type="method" name="start" exec="/usr/local/sbin/snmptrapd -On -Lsd -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid -c /usr/local/share/snmp/snmptrapd.conf" timeout_seconds="60"/> <exec_method type="method" name="stop" exec=":kill" timeout_seconds="60"/> <stability value="Unstable"/> <template> <common_name> <loctext xml:lang="C">Net-SNMP Trap Dispatcher</loctext> </common_name> </template> </service> </service_bundle>
Next, just do it 
bash-3.00# svccfg validate snmptrapd.xml
bash-3.00# svccfg import snmptrapd.xml
bash-3.00# svcs snmptrapd
STATE STIME FMRI
online 10:59:13 svc:/site/snmptrapd:default
bash-3.00# ps -ef|grep snmptrapd
root 19757 25265 0 10:59:14 ? 0:00 /usr/local/sbin/snmptrapd -On -Lsd -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid -c /usr/local/shar
root 20417 11157 0 10:59:38 pts/2 0:00 grep snmptrapdWe got it.
Note: If you made a mistake manually editing xml manifest file and got the error
svccfg: couldn't parse document
you can easily find xml file errors with xmllint
xmllint --valid your_manifest.xml
