Hi I'd like to add a start up script to run at boot time.I think that pre solaris 10 you'd add it to /etc/init.d. But I'm using Solaris 10 now and it has this SMF config thing which I'm not sure whether I have to add a service to it or not.

Does anyone know how add a script at boot time on solaris 10?


Cheers.

Solaris 10 lets you run what it calls "legacy services" as they run in Solaris 9 and lower.
The usual setup is to create the run crontrol script in /etc/init.d and then link it to any of the /etc/rcX.d directories - usually rc3.d for scripts other than system scripts - depending when you want you script to start or stop The run control script should have options for stop and start, and you should create 2 links, one starting with S, one starting with K, so the OS knows what to start when it's booting up, and what to stop when it's going down.

System Shock:

I search to find your post in last year. I want to run "legacy services" on Solaris 10. I created a auto startup and shutdown script in /etc/init.d, then I created 2 links to /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc3.d. My system run level is 3. It didn't work. I may need to modify more on the settings. Could you please give detailed information on how to set up 'S' and 'K'? Thanks.
