Using SMF to register & start a (Nagios) service
I'm trying to register & start a service using SMF on Solaris 10. It's nsca, part of the Nagios monitoring system. I've got nsca running fine as a detached process, and can manually create passive checks via send_nsca. But when I try to run nsca as a daemon, I need some advice.

The nsca install seemed to create /var/svc/manifest/network/nsca-tcp.xml and that looked ok, so I did a "svccfg import" of that file, and now I get this result:

Code:
#> svcs -l svc:/network/nsca/tcp:default
fmri         svc:/network/nsca/tcp:default
name         nsca
enabled      true
state        online
next_state   none
state_time   September 20, 2010  5:40:07 PM PDT
restarter    svc:/network/inetd:default
contract_id

This looks like I'm close. The service seems enabled. Looks to me like inetd should start up the daemon when a request comes in. But nothing happens when I use send_nsca (no logfile activity, no nsca process). Do I need a script in /lib/svc/method ?

Thanks for any advice....Lyle

SYNOPSIS

       /lib/svc/bin/svc.configd

       svc.configd  is	the repository daemon for the Service Management Facility. svc.configd is invoked automatically during system startup, and
       restarted if any failures occur. svc.configd should never be invoked directly.

       Interaction with svc.configd is by way of libscf(3LIB) and the command line tools:svcs(1), svcprop(1), svcadm(1M), and svccfg(1M).
