<div style=""> When you run 'rrdtool -' it takes a chain of commands from standard input. However, where are these commands coming from if you run it under SMF? You've nothing to handle listening to a socket, and multiple connections would require multiple
invocations... hence it doesnt work.<br>
<br>
My 'method 1' (inetd mode) will cause SMF to take care of listening to sockets, and after a connect, the connected socket is linked ot the standard input of the spawned rrdtool process.<br>

<div>Hi Steve,<br>
<br>
I will try what you suggest but there is a couple of things that are strange to me in what you say.<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<br>
