Hi,<br><br>I've managed to install rrdtool using your instructions! Thanks a lot!<br><br>However, my installation is not correct because when I run it (by run I mean giving instructions to generate things) I get an error due to lacking dynamic dependencies. The error is the following:<br>
ld.so.1: rrdtool: fatal: libm.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory<br>ld.so.1: rrdtool: fatal: libmp.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory<br>ld.so.1: rrdtool: fatal: libscf.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory<br>

<br>1. I completely agree with except for the fact that when I run in commandline: rrdtool - <directory> the process does not end (it waits until I type commands). That's why it's so strange to me that the process exists inmediately.<br>
2. I know that stop method is not right (as I recognized in my first post) but as I am not very proficient in Solaris/SMF/RRDTOOL I was trying to solve the problem incrementally. So first of all I wanted to start the process.<br>
<br>I will try 1 option and see how it goes.<br><br>Thanks<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 2:50 AM, Steve Shipway <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:s.shipway@auckland.ac.nz" target="_blank">s.shipway@auckland.ac.nz</a>></span> wrote:<br>

This is probably a better solution, though you might want to get the trunk version of rrdtool 1.4.x in order to have the maximum possible support for the various rrdtool commands. The rrdcached command will work nicely with SMF as it is a single daemon and will output the PID to a separate file which you can then use in your kill command.</span></p>

</div></div><div><div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Hi,<br><br>I'm very new to Solaris and to rrdtool, but in my company we've been using rrdtool in linux without any problem.<br>
<br>Anyway, I'm trying deploy it in a solaris 10 machine and I am not being able to start it as a server.<br><br>I have created a SMF to start it but it seems to go down. The SMF is:<br><br><?xml version='1.0'?><br>
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM '/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1'><br><service_bundle type='manifest' name='export'><br> <service name='rrdtool' type='service' version='0'><br>
<create_default_instance enabled='true'/><br> <single_instance/><br> <instance name='rrdtool' enabled='false'><br> <exec_method<br> type='method'<br>
name='start'<br> exec='/opt/csw/bin/rrdtool - <Directory>'<br> timeout_seconds='0'><br> </exec_method><br>
<exec_method<br> type='method'<br> name='stop'<br> exec='kill -9 blabla'<br> timeout_seconds='30'><br>
</exec_method><br> </instance><br> </service><br></service_bundle><br><br>where <Directory> is the place where I want to leave the statistics. However, when I try to start it using: svcadm enable rrdtool:rrdtool<br>
<br>I get the following log:<br>/usr/bin/kill[8]: blabla: Arguments must be %job or process ids<br>[ Nov 30 11:42:55 Method "stop" exited with status 1 ]<br>[ Nov 30 11:50:44 Leaving maintenance because disable requested. ]<br>

/usr/bin/kill[8]: blabla: Arguments must be %job or process ids<br>[ Nov 30 11:50:47 Method "stop" exited with status 1 ]<br><br>Also if I run that command in command-line it does not end inmediately and I can run commands.<br>
<br>I know that kill -9 blablabla is not correct but it should not be executed (it is executed because the command ends). Any clue about the problem cause? Do I have to register something else anywhere?<br><br>Thanks a lot<br>
