Sunday October 31, 2004 smf(5) at home
Our electrical power at home has been sagging occassionally. It tripped yesterday for a couple of seconds: enough for everything without batteries or some capacitance to reset. (So clocks set yesterday, and again today.) Our main server went as well, and I noticed one or two services—running under very early Solaris 10—didn't come back up properly. There's a solution for that.
So I upgraded that that server to the 10/2004 Express release of Solaris—the first one with smf(5). I ended up writing seven service conversions very quickly (for SASL, IMAP, stunnel, and Blastwave's Postfix, BIND9, Apache, and Squid), because otherwise Dina's email doesn't work. (Or my home blog.)
I need to reexamine the dependencies I elected on each of these service conversions, but if you're interested in seeing them, let me know. With the exception of chasing a few configuration files down, it took only half an hour to get these services properly managed; that is, basically limited by typing speed.

Friday October 29, 2004 smf(5) content flowing
We've posted an smf(5) quickstart guide and a preliminary service developer introduction (written by Liane), and are listening in the Predictive Self-Healing forum.
If you like, comment to let me know when the images hit the Download Center—they'll most likely say "b69" somewhere in the filenames.

Thursday October 28, 2004 smf(5) seepage
Google (and the other search engines, I'm sure) are amusingly tenacious: if you search for "solaris" and the smf(5) command of your choice, you'll start to find early content deep within the sun.com web tree as well as other Solaris and Unix sites. (These keywords will also deliver information about holiday resorts, although I can't speak for their service or management or facility.)
