Starting custom services with Solaris.

Dox Systems - Brian · 06-06-2007, 11:08 AM

I have a machine that I've added "subversion" to, and would like it to start at boot. I'm wondering about what the supported methods are to do that. It's not a critical service enough that I want to write a whole SMF framework. I'd prefer to just fire it off like a line in a BSD "rc.local" or Linux /etc/rc.d script...

Thanks!

You can still use the "legacy" SYSV init.d scripts.

Simply create a /etc/init.d/subversion shell script and start/stop links in the suitable directories:
/etc/rc0.d/K01subversion
/etc/rc1.d/K01subversion
/etc/rc2.d/K01subversion
/etc/rcS.d/K01subversion
/etc/rc3.d/S99subversion
