dns server - start/exec method

> Which version of Solaris are you running?

Of course Solaris 10 :-). The problem is that named is under SMF

so to run it with different parameters I need to do some modification in SMF. I was looking for start/exec method but it seems it doesn't exist. At least I cannot find it. DO I have to create it ?

svccfg: Syntax error.

bash-3.00# svccfg -s dns/server

svc:/network/dns/server> setprop start/exec = "/usr/sbin/named -d 2"

No such property group "start".

svc:/network/dns/server> help

General commands: help set repository end

Manifest commands: inventory validate import export archive

Profile commands: apply extract

Entity commands: list select unselect add delete

Snapshot commands: listsnap selectsnap revert

Property group commands: listpg addpg delpg

Property commands: listprop setprop delprop editprop

Property value commands: addpropvalue delpropvalue setenv unsetenv

svc:/network/dns/server> addpg

Usage: addpg name type [P]

Add a new property group to the currently selected entity.

svc:/network/dns/server> addpg start ?

What should I use as a 'type' ?

Another (maybe easier to remember) approach is using svccfg's interactive mode. So after you started it simply use:

magi:/home/peter $ svccfg

svc:> select dns/server:default

svc:/network/dns/server:default>

...after which you can use "listprop" to see all entries and "editprop" to edit them. This can be easier on you since you can edit and change multiple entries at once.
