NAME

Solaris::SMF::Service - Encapsulate Solaris 10 services in Perl

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

Interface to Sun's Service Management Facility in Solaris 10. This module provides a wrapper around 'svcs', 'svcadm' and 'svccfg'.

The SMF in Solaris is a replacement for inetd as well as the runlevel-based stopping and starting of daemons. Service definitions are stored in an XML database.

The biggest advantages in using SMF are the resiliency support, consistent interface and inter-service dependencies it offers. Services that die for any reason can be automatically restarted by the operating system; all services can be enabled or disabled using the same commands; and services can be started as soon as all the services they depend upon have been started, rather than at a fixed point in the boot process.

METHODS

new

status

Get the current status of this service. Returns a string, 'disabled', 'enabled', 'offline'.

FMRI

Returns the Fault Managed Resource Identifier for this service.

properties

Returns all or some properties for this service.

property

Returns the value of a single property of this service.

property_type

Returns the type of a single property of this service.
