solaris 10: add new svc
Hi guys,
I want to add a new 'service' to Solaris 10. Does anyone have any documentation that tells how to do that?
I have gone through a bunch of stuff on the net that tells how to enable, disable services, find whats wrong with a service and so on. All conveniently skip mention of how to actually add a new service of your own.
I checked the files in /var/svc/manifest, and I know that they are the xmls that are used by the svcadm and its ilk, but does adding a new 'service' mean writing one of those xml files yourself?
-edit
Don't like the word service - feels too Windowsy

Running ftp

If I disable ftp

I can still SEND ftp files out.
I cannot connect to this server via FTP, but why can I still connect to other ftp servers and send files?
Cheers. (5 Replies)

svc(8) System Manager's Manual svc(8)
NAME
svc - controls services monitored by supervise(8).
SYNOPSIS
svc [ -udopchaitkx ] services
DESCRIPTION
services consists of any number of arguments, each argument naming a directory used by supervise(8).
svc applies all the options to each service in turn.
OPTIONS
-u Up. If the service is not running, start it. If the service stops, restart it.
-d Down. If the service is running, send it a TERM signal and then a CONT signal. After it stops, do not restart it.
-o Once. If the service is not running, start it. Do not restart it if it stops.
-p Pause. Send the service a STOP signal.
-c Continue. Send the service a CONT signal.
-h Hangup. Send the service a HUP signal.
-a Alarm. Send the service an ALRM signal.
-i Interrupt. Send the service an INT signal.
-t Terminate. Send the service a TERM signal.
-k Kill. Send the service a KILL signal.
-x Exit. supervise(8) will exit as soon as the service is down. If you use this option on a stable system, you're doing something
wrong; supervise(8) is designed to run forever.
