I should mention that this isn't something I'm doing for a particular set of people.
I just have a lot of time on my hands these days and a friend and I wanted to write a program that documents things for an admin automatically. I do a bit of freelance sys admin work from time to time and a lot of servers are either not documented at all or badly documented. I know this sounds a little ambitious but maybe I can start with something very small and build it up over a couple years.
Yeah, you're definitely right about configure being very customizable...but I don't know how to work around this.
You said configure is usually told where to install things. What tells it where to install things? Better yet, can you tell me where I can read more about building an installable source for Linux so that I understand what exactly goes on during the 'configure', 'make' and 'make install' process?
Regarding tracking services, watching /var/run is a reliable way to determine if a service was started, right? Or does this path also depend on what starup manager I'm using?
Thanks.

NAME
sc_zonesd - Sun Cluster zone administration daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/cluster/lib/sc/sc_zonesd
DESCRIPTION
The sc_zonesd daemon is a system daemon that is used by Sun Cluster software to track and manage non-global zones. This daemon initially
starts when the system comes up.
The daemon runs in the global zone only.
DIAGNOSTICS
All diagnostic messages are logged through the syslog function.
NOTES
The sc_zonesd daemon must be started in superuser mode.
The sc_zonesd daemon is controlled by the SMF service sc_zones. The cluster software requires this daemon to run for non-global zone sup-
port. If the daemon is killed or if the SMF service is disabled, the cluster node will panic.
