Hi,
I installed ganglia on my solaris (with gmetad).. when I try to start the
daemon, it gives me this error..
$ /gmond start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions not found
I've copied the gmond.init to /usr/sbin.. Is there something I'm missing
here??!!
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions is a Linuxism. You might have better luck
starting with the scripts I use in the FreeBSd port:

For solaris you will need to modify the code that sets the PREFIX
variable and remove the call to killall, replacing it with a pkill call.
!!! WARNING !!!
If you don't remove the killall call, it will kill all processes
including init.
!!! WARNING !!!
We should probalby figure out a better way to package the startup
scripts within ganglia so we can include appropriate ones for each OS
since there's no one-size-fits-all solution.
Didn't I, once upon a time, include a gmond.solaris init script of some
sort with the Ganglia distribution?
I have one that works ... it's really nothing special, though...
