Hi Harry,
I've got nothing canned which I can quickly pass on, however, anything I
gather will be from google ;-)
The top three hits searching for "writing smf manifest" look useful:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/selfheal/sdev_intro.jsp
http://wikis.sun.com/display/BigAdmin/SMF+Short+Cuts
http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/chrismay/entry/solaris_smf_manifest/
I've not looked at them in depth, but they seem to contain a mixture of
background and contain examples (or fragments).
I'd suggest copying /var/svc/manifest/system/utmp.xml as a starting
point for modification (obviously don't modify utmp.xml itself!). IIRC,
it implements a simple, single-daemon 'child' type of service, which is
restarted if it dies.
Hopefully that is enough to get you started. I'd suggest copying the
manifest from a simple service such as utmp.xml and customise it to your
needs. If your service needs a startup script, then you should include
/lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh so you can use the correct exit codes to
signal the right things to the framework.
Hope that helps,
Brian

Personally, I would use an SMF service to wrap my reader, and place a
dependent entry in the manifest something like this:
Brian.. can you post some URLs about using SMF. I'm completely
ignorant about it. I realize I can google it but hoped URLs you
provided might save lots of time wasted on baloney hits.
