Decided to create a SMF manifest for squid so that it autostarts on boot.
Command to start squid : /usr/squid/sbin/squid
Command to stop squid : /usr/squid/sbin/squid -k shutdown
This site has a good starter on SMF creation : http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/mouting_windows_shares_at_startup
I’ve taken a copy of the /var/svc/manifest/network/smb/server.xml file for my squid manifest and placed it at /var/svc/manifest/network/squid/squid.xml
Import the XML using this command;
svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/network/squid/squid.xml
Update: i’ve stopped this work as i missed the fact that squid already comes with a SMF manifest! :) No idea how i missed that one. You can enable via ;
svcadm enable svc:/network/http:squid
This is the manifest for the above service;
<?xml version=”1.0″?>
