Lighttpd

= Running lighttpd on Solaris Service Management Facility (SMF) =

If you want to use native Solaris management facility (SMF), you have to create two files describing lighttpd service:

• Manifest file: /var/svc/manifest/network/lighttpd.xml

{{{

<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1">

<service_bundle type='manifest' name='lighttpd'>

                        name='refresh'
                        exec='/lib/svc/method/http-lighttpd refresh'

• init file: /lib/svc/method/http-lighttpd

Now import the file into SMF database:

{{{
bash-3.00# svccfg -v import /var/svc/manifest/network/lighttpd.xml
}}}

and enable this service:

{{{
bash-3.00# svcadm enable network/lighttpd
}}}

Lastly, you can check verbose information about this service:

{{{
bash-3.00# svcs -l network/lighttpd
fmri svc:/network/lighttpd:lighttpd
name Lighttpd HTTP server
enabled true
state online
next_state none
state_time Sun Sep 25 14:21:49 2005
logfile /var/svc/log/network-lighttpd:lighttpd.log
restarter svc:/system/svc/restarter:default
contract_id 143
dependency require_all/error svc:/network/loopback:default (online)
dependency optional_all/error svc:/network/physical:default (online)
}}}

Of course it is simple example of such a service, if you have better one, please cut and paste it here.
