Controlling IBM Connect:Direct Using the SMF Script

To place the IBM Connect:Direct service under the control of SMF:

  1. As root, import the file by typing the following command:

    /usr/sbin/svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/application/connect-direct.xml

  2. As root, start the IBM® Connect:Direct® service under SMF control by typing the following command:

    svcadm enable connect-direct

    Verify the IBM Connect:Direct service is running.

  3. To verify IBM Connect:Direct restarts under the control of SMF, type the following command:

    svcs -p connect-direct

    Observe the Process number in use.

  4. Stop the IBM Connect:Direct service by using the Command Line Interface (CLI) method. For additional information, refer to IBM Connect:Direct User's Guide.

    IBM Connect:Direct stops, and immediately restarts under SMF control.

  5. To confirm IBM Connect:Direct is under the control of SMF, type the following command:

    svcs -p connect-direct

    The system generates a Process number different from that observed in step 3.
