Restarting Automatically on Solaris 10

Solaris 10 users can use the command asadmin create-service to create a service that restarts
a node agent or Domain Administration Server (DAS). The service created uses the Solaris
Service Management Facility (SMF).
The process that a service starts depends on whether the service is to restart a DAS or a node
agent.
■
■
The service grants to the process the privileges of the user that runs the process. When you use
the command asadmin create-service to create an SMF service, the default user is the
superuser. If you require a different user to run the process, specify the user in
method_credential.
If your process is to bind to a privileged port of the Solaris OS, the process requires the
net_privaddr privilege. The privileged ports of the Solaris OS have a port numbers less than
1024.

If the service is to restart a DAS, the process is asadmin start-domain.
If the service is to restart a node agent, the process is asadmin start-node-agent.
