Full Discussion: How to make SMF service start last?
Operating Systems Solaris How to make SMF service start last? Post 302794257 by JWH on Monday 15th of April 2013 01:47:50 PM

Thank-you. I thought of that and did the research trying to find what service would provide the kstat kernel variable ... no luck. It's inode_cache, so I would've thought anything to do withe the file system would work.

I hoped making my service depend on every freaking SMF milestone would do the job - no luck.

What I finally did was change the program of my service to sleep for 10 seconds - it gives SMF the illusion it is up and running while SMF starts-up other services. By the time my service wakes up again, the system is actually ready for it.

A hack job yes, but better than the hours I have already put in trying to solve a simple problem.

SMF may be an improvement, but taking away the ability to simply say I want my service to start last (as much as it can), is too much.

NAME

       started - event signalling that a job is running

SYNOPSIS

       started JOB=JOB INSTANCE=INSTANCE [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  started  event is generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon when an instance of a job has finished starting and is now running.  The JOB
       environment variable contains the job name, and the INSTANCE environment variable contains the instance name which will be empty  for  sin-
       gle-instance jobs.

       init(8)	emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other
       activity.  It is typically combined with the stopping(7) event by services declaring a dependency.

       Job configuration files may use the export stanza to export environment variables from their own environment into the started  event.   See
       init(5) for more details.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to depend on another service might use:

	      start on started apache
	      stop on stopping apache

       A task that must be run after another task or service has been started might use:

	      start on started postgresql
