Hi,
You'd write an SMF service (start method included) that does all the
configuration, then you'd pacakage it (with corresponding dependencies
on the pkgs that deliver the Oracl DB product), and you'd add this pkg
to the incorporation that your machines install.
Arrg - and that should be more secure than using a postinstall script???
Yes, it certainly should be; you can precisely control the privileges
used for executing the service start method, which may well be far less
than required to install software.
Sorry, but using an SMF Service for configuring an application makes
developing of packages more complicated and will lead to lot of new
errors ....
That is far from a given. In the short run, it requires some learning,
but in the long run it will be a more stable execution environment than
any sort of scripting in SVR4 packages ever provided.
