Hmm, I'm not sure about that . But anyway - if this is the way to go we
have to use it.
What about the preinstall scripts, and post/pre remove scripts?

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.
