This process has already been covered before in the forum. I have just installed rsync on Solaris 10 and would now like to activate a service. Tornado has previously posted a thread explaining the process. The question I have is:
If the following directory does not exist on your system (see below) where would you create this script?
If a script is required to start and stop the process, create the script and place it in a local directory such as /usr/local/svc/method
Code:
# vi /usr/local/svc/method/newservice
#!/sbin/sh
#
# Copyright (c) 1995, 1997-1999 by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
# All rights reserved.
#
#ident "@(#)newservice 1.14 06/11/17 SMI"
case "$1" in
'start')
/usr/bin/newservice &
;;
'stop')
/usr/bin/pkill -x -u 0 newservice
;;
*0
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
;;
esac
exit 0
You need to create this directory. However, /usr/local/something is a poor advice (i.e. non Solaris standard compliant) and might lead to trouble. I would suggest /opt/local/svc/method instead.
Maybe another few questions you could answer for me:
I have downloaded rsync-3.0.6 into the tmp directory.
Where is the best location to install rsync?
Do you have an example manifest .xml file for the rsync service?
Will the start stop script I previously posted work?
I also read that you have also to configure the “/etc/rsyncd.conf” and “/etc/rsyncd.motd” files, as well as the “/etc/default/rsync” configuration file.
I'm confused. You wrote a week ago that you have already installed it. Did you download the source code or a binary package ? In the latter case, from what repository ?
The configuration files will depend on options provided when rsync is built.
# ./configure
configure.sh: Configuring rsync 3.0.7
checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10
checking whether to include debugging symbols... yes
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure.sh: error: in `/james/rsync-3.0.7':
configure.sh: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
This is not working for me as I need to define the PATH
I have also tried installing from the Solaris 10 companion CD
Code:
# pkgadd -d /cdrom/s10_software_companion/components/i386/Packages SFWrsync
Processing package instance <SFWrsync> from </cdrom/s10_software_companion/components/i386/Packages>

I am now trying to connect to the Solaris system(considered remote host in this situation) using rsync on a Readynas Pro which is on one of our subnets. Evertime I try to connect to Solaris system using rsync on the NASbox says it cannot connect to host 192.168.xxx.xxx where I have installed and enabled rsync. I am trying to backup user files on the NASbox to a directory on the Sun system. There is a VPN router in the equation as well as a firewall, however I just want to be sure that rsync is installed and working correctly on the Solaris box.
Have I missed anything out of the rsync install and config? Any examples of how I can test this?
