Sun SMF

Sun SMF is their alternative to rc.d/inet.d and provides a mechanism for starting a service.

JMX Monitor supports SMF by providing

• An SMF Manfest
• An serivce start/stop script (this file can also be used with inet.d!)

  To use as a Sun SMF service

• Extract the distribution into /opt/jmxmonitor
• chown -R nobody /opt/jmxmonitor
• cp /opt/jmxmonitor/bin/jmxmonitor-svc /lib/svc/method
• chmod a+x /opt/jmxmonitor/bin/jmxmonitor-svc
• chmod a+x /opt/jmxmonitor/bin/jmxmonitor
• svccfg validate /opt/jmxmonitor/bin/jmxmonitor.xml
• svccfg install /opt/jmxmonitor/bin/jmxmonitor.xml

  It is now installed and will autostart on boot. To start run

• svcadmin enable jmxmonitor

  To stop run

• svcadmin disable jmxmonitor

  Logs will be written into /opt/jmxmonitor/logs by default and the SMF framework will log into the syslog.

  You can get its status by running

• svcs -l jmxmonitor
