mkdir -p /etc/svscan/str/log mkdir -p /var/log/str groupadd nofiles groupadd -g nofiles sdaclnt chown sdaclnt:nofiles /var/log/str cp str /etc/svscan/str cd /etc/svscan/str echo "username\npassword\n" > logindetails
Create run as per:
#!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid sdaclnt ./str < ./logindetails 2>&1
and log/run
#!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid sdaclnt \ /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/str
Then
chmod 755 run log/run ln -s /etc/svscan/str /service
And if you 'pstree' or similar, you should see str happily running.
Make a directory /etc/svscan/str and put the following 'run' file into it:
Create /etc/svscan/str/log/run as per:
Create a 'logindetails' file that has your username on one line and your password on the next.
Your directory structure should look like:
/etc/svscan/str/ |- log/ | '- run |- logindetails |- run '- str
Create a group 'nofiles' if you haven't already got one (see groupadd(8)). Create a user 'sdaclnt' in that group (useradd(8)).
Create a directory /var/log/str and chown sdaclnt:nofiles it.
Ensure str is in /etc/svscan/str and then link the str directory in to /service.
Then, if you want to logout, do 'svc -d /service/str' To login after that do 'svc -u /service/str'. To give it a kick (log you off, log you back in), do 'svc -t /service/str'.
Basically, this all means that you get a log of what str does while it's being a daemon and you can also easily stop it, start it, restart it, whatever.
