Chkconfig & SMF
Hi

I have been told to migrate linux init scripts to solaris 10. i am reading about the chkconfig & SMF ( I came to know that SMF is used in Sol 10 for service management ). The only thing i could not find out ( Because i dont have root access ) is how the links are created in rcX.d directory?

I will try to explain what i understood from different article i found on net

1) there are different run levels generally 0-6 & S/s
2) Default is run level 3
3) with chkconfig user can create links in /etc/rcX.d
4) these links are hard links to files in init.d
5) when server boots up ( assume in run level 3 ) it executes all the scripts whose name starts with "S" under /etc/rc3.d
6) changing that initial letter to something else will skip that test being executed at start

please correct me if what i understood is wrong.

so my question was just by specifying something like in script will create a link under rc3.d dir ?

Code:
#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 3 20 20 
# description: blah blah

or do i have to write a script which will create a link in rcX.d folder to this files ?

scprivipd

scprivipd(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     scprivipd(1M)

NAME

       scprivipd - Sun Cluster Private IP address service daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/cluster/lib/sc/scprivipd

DESCRIPTION

       Sun  Cluster private IP addresses can be assigned to non-global zones by using the scconf command or the clnode command. The scprivipd dae-
       mon is a server daemon that is used for the management of these private IP addresses that are assigned to non-global zones.  The  scprivipd
       daemon  is  started  at	system	boot time. It is used to configure or unconfigure the private IP addresses that are assigned to non-global
       zones on zone boot or shutdown or as a result of scconf operations.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The scprivipd daemon has no direct stdin, stdout, or stderr connection to the outside. All diagnostic messages are logged through the  sys-
       log function.

NOTES

       The scprivipd daemon must be run in superuser mode.

       The  scprivipd daemon is a Service Management Facility (SMF) service and is started through SMF. Also, if the scprivipd daemon is killed by
       a signal, it is automatically restarted by SMF.

       The SIGTERM signal can be used to kill scprivipd gracefully. Other signals should not be used to kill the daemon.
