Opensolaris : SMF and Squid

Networking, Solaris-Express

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;
