Manage Gearmand and Drizzle with SMF

If you are running Gearman or Drizzle on Solaris, you may want to let SMF start and monitor the services. I just pushed service definitions and and scripts to install them a couple of days ago.

If you look in the scripts directory in Gearman, you will see a script named smf_install.sh. If you run this script it will define a user and group named gearmand, create the Gearman authorizations and profile before a service named gearman is defined. To start the Gearman service all you need to do is to run:

trond@storm ~> svcadm enable gearman

For Drizzle you need to look in the support-files/smf directory for a script named install.sh. To start Drizzle all you need to do is to run:

trond@storm ~> svcadm enable drizzle
