How can i add options to a command that is managed by SMF ? For example the

svc:/system/system-log:default

is just stared with no options, /usr/sbin/syslogd shows ps -ef

How can add options, so that syslog starts with for example -d for debugging, so it would say /usr/sbin/syslogd -d when typing ps -ef

This goes for every process that is managed with SMF, how to add startup options

Thanks for helping

You can see a service configuration by looking the file /var/svc/manifest/system/<service-name>.xml, and in particular the command it launches, if any.

For example, system-log service shows this:

Code:

  <exec_method
    type='method'
    name='start'
    exec='/lib/svc/method/system-log'
    timeout_seconds='600' />

That means the start script is /lib/svc/method/system-log , which you can modify to add options or whatever, at your own risks ...
