The subject says it all. I've written a RESTful API which wraps around the standard Illumos/Solaris SMF commands.
For instance, once you have the daemon running on a host, you could issue a command of the form: $ curl -s "http://tap:9206/smf/global/svcs?state=online"; and get back a JSON object describing all the services in the ONLINE state in tap's global zone. Or maybe run: $ curl -d "svc=ssh" -s "http://tap:9206/smf/tap-web/svcadm/restart"; to restart SSH in the tap-web zone. You can view services and their properties; restart, stop, switch state and change properties of services; import, export and archive manifests; tail service log files and miscellaneous other stuff. Security should be done primarily by assigning suitable RBAC roles to the user the daemon runs as, but it's possible to assign different operations to different users, restrict access to commands, and whitelist or blacklist services or entire zones. It's been written as much as an exercise as anything -- I no longer work on a SunOS estate, so I haven't tested it in anger. It therefore comes with absolutely no guarantees, and may not be of any use to anyone anywhere ever! It's written in Node.js, using the Restify framework, and it's been tested on Solaris 11, Solaris 11u1, Solaris 10u10, OmniOS stable, and whatever release of SmartOS is currently running in the Joyent cloud. There's lots of documentation, a test suite, and (hopefully) simple, readable code, and it's all at https://github.com/snltd/SexyMF. Any feedback to me please, via email or github, rather than cluttering the list.
