In this last section of the chapter, you're going to learn how to troubleshoot a service that's presenting an error and how to fix a corrupted repository.
To following the recipe, it'll be necessary to have a virtual machine (using VirtualBox or VMware) with Oracle Solaris 11 installed and 4 GB RAM.
The main role of an administrator is to keep everything working well. The best way to analyze the system is by running the following command:
root@solaris11-1:~# svcs –xv
For now, there isn't a problem in the system, but we can simulate one. For example, in the next step, we will break the gedit_script service by taking out a semicolon from its script, as follows:
root@solaris11-1:~# vi /lib/svc/method/gedit_script.sh #!/sbin/sh . /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh case "$1" in 'start') DISPLAY=:0.0 export DISPLAY /usr/bin/gedit & ;-----------------à Remove this semicolon! 'stop') pkill -x -u 0 gedit ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start...
