And if you think that the rc.d mechanism used so commonly today is an
improvement or so great try answering the following common question:
"what letter/number/name should I make my rc file to start up X?
Which rc directory should it go under?" Such mechanisms are a huge
step backwards and unbelievably fragile.
It is interesting that Sun also came to the same conclusion, and replaced it
with their Service Management Framework (SMF) in Solaris 10.
Has anyone compared launchd with SMF? Is there anything SMF does better than
launchd?
Having watched a few hundred messages go by on this topic, and having
read maybe 1/3 of them, I was surprised to find an interesting
question in the babbling stream. I have no idea of SMF, but we (at
RPI, where I work) do intend to be moving to solaris 10 on some
machines this summer. What does SMF do? How does that work? Are
all the /etc/rc scripts gone?
