To the best of my knowledge and belief, as of right now, SMF provides no
capability for a one time run, so getting post-installation code to run via SMF
is tricky, with one svcadm refresh, and one svccfg delete.
Is it really practical to take the "no scripting zone" design so far as to force people
to resort to "backdoors" and hacks via SMF, which SMF doesn't even rightly support yet? I
mean, if I have to use SMF to do postinstall, I clearly have the need to execute code upon software
installation and removal. Why refuse to give me capability to do that in the packaging system?
