This describes how to run Exim under the control of SMF in Solaris 10. It is not necessarily the best that can be done, but does work to some extent.
First create the XML file (as 'exim-smf.xml') to be imported into SMF :-
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1">
<service_bundle type='manifest' name='Local:exim'>
<service
name='site/exim'
type='service'
version='1'>
<create_default_instance enabled='false' />
<single_instance/>
<dependency
name='fs-local'
grouping='require_all'
restart_on='none'
type='service'>
<service_fmri value='svc:/system/filesystem/local' />
</dependency>
<dependency
name='network-service'
grouping='require_all'
restart_on='none'
type='service'>
<service_fmri value='svc:/network/service' />
</dependency>
<dependent
name='exim_multi-user-server'
grouping='require_all'
restart_on='none'>
<service_fmri value='svc:/milestone/multi-user-server' />
</dependent>
<exec_method
type='method'
name='start'
exec='/opt/exim/bin/smf-script start'
timeout_seconds='60'>
<method_context>
<method_credential user='root' group='root' />
</method_context>
</exec_method>
<exec_method
type='method'
name='refresh'
exec='/opt/exim/bin/smf-script refresh'
timeout_seconds='60' />
<exec_method
type='method'
name='stop'
exec='/opt/exim/bin/smf-script stop'
timeout_seconds='60' />
<template>
<common_name>
<loctext xml:lang='C'>
Exim mail transport agent
</loctext>
</common_name>
</template>
</service>
</service_bundle>
Note that this XML refers to a shell script with the absolute path of '/opt/exim/bin/smf-script' and you may prefer a different location or name. In either case the script is as follows :-
#
EXIM_DIR="/opt/exim"
# Where is Exim installed ?
EXIM_CONF="$EXIM_DIR/configure"
# Where is the configuration file ?
EXIM_PID="/var/spool/exim/exim-daemon.pid"
# Exim PID file
case "$1" in
'refresh')
[ -f $EXIM_PID ] && kill -HUP `head -1 $EXIM_PID`
;;
'start')
$EXIM_DIR/bin/exim -bd -q10m
;;
'stop')
[ -f $EXIM_PID ] && kill `head -1 $EXIM_PID`
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | refresh }"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
Once this is done, you can import the XML file with
svccfg import exim-smf.xml If this imports successfully, you can use
the standard SMF commands to start (svcadm enable exim), stop
(svcadm disable exim), and reconfigure (svcadm refresh exim) to
control Exim.
