If I want to make reference of the application binaries in the form of
symbolic link. i.e /opt/../../bin/application file should be binary
file and sbin/application or /usr/bin/application will be a symbolic
link to /opt/../../bin/application file, then how I can achieve this?
Any script I should write for this?
At present I am using request,checkinstall and copyright scripts only.

Can you please help me in how to use SMF to start my application at
startup on solaris 10?
Are there any quick steps to implement this? I read the smf manual but
not getting a clear idea of how to use it.



Thanks & Regards,
