hello expert, I have a question need help and advice, for a SMF managed service, eg: my services named safeguard, is there a way to auto re-start the process for SMF managed that some one kill the safeguard process

I hope when the process is killed, the SMF could start it again and automatically do that, how to write the SMF xml? is there any special?

Best wishes

tozhu: so you want the functionality of the sun cluster process monitoring facility. I'm not sure if that is implemented.

tozhu: smf supports restarting services, at least on failing dependencies (see smf(7), restart_on)

Agnar, Thank you very much, I’ll check the restart_on option, Thank you very much

i'm not sure if that's what you want

danmcd: have you upgraded bash recently?

danmcd: based on omnios experience, and talking with andy, that's a good first question when software starts acting the fool, right now.

(re: binutils)

(apparently if I remember, the root was that updating bash changed autoconf's opinions about some stuff)

Oh yes, that rings a bell. It was gcc 14's stricter warnings that changed autoconf's opinions

since autoconf relies on something not compiling to make a decision, and wasn't always good about putting a type on main(), for example.

But it's definitely worth comparing config.log on binutils with gcc13 and with gcc14

tozhu: see smf(7), smf_restarter(7), smf_method(7), svc.startd(8); most non-transient services are configured to restart. svc.startd(8) describes was causes a restart: all processes exit, or any one dumps core, or a process outside the service sends a fatal signal to a process in the service.

tozhu: monitoring of the service processes is done via process contracts; see contract(5) and process(5)

ah, gcc + autoconf, I thought bash was in there too.

perhaps it was in the past and I'm crossing the streams

The gcc14+autoconf problem ended up breaking bash, but I forget exactly what.

and building binutils with gcc13 doesn't make -z behave any better, unfortunately.

richlowe - omniosorg/omnios-build 398d921ab66 might be the one you're thinking about.
