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 ?

hald

hald(1M)						  System Administration Commands						  hald(1M)

NAME

       hald - daemon that supports hardware abstraction layer

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/hal/hald  [--daemon={yes | no}]] [--help] [--use-syslog]
	[--verbose={yes | no}] [--version]

DESCRIPTION

       The  hald  daemon  supports the recognition of hardware changes for devices that conform to the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) specifica-
       tion.

       The enabling and disabling of hald can be performed through the service management facility (SMF) (see smf(5)). hald is managed	using  the
       fault management resource identifier (FMRI) svc:/system/hal. Options can be specified as SMF properties. See EXAMPLES.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --daemon        Run as a daemon.

       --help	       Display usage information and exit.

       --use-syslog    Display debug messages to syslog instead of stderr. Use this option to record debug messages if HAL runs as daemon.

       --verbose       Display debug information.

       --version       Display version information and exit.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Specifying a Property

       The following svccfg(1M) command specifies the --verbose option.

	 example# svccfg
	 svc:> select hal
	 svc:/system/hal> listprop hal/*
	 hal/verbose	      boolean  false
	 hal/use_syslog       boolean  false
	 svc:/system/hal> setprop hal/verbose=true
	 svc:/system/hal> exit

FILES

       /usr/lib/hal    HAL-related files

       /etc/hal/fdi    Device information files
