This directory contains init-scripts and SMF manifests and methods
for integration of NUT services with Solaris and descendant OSes.
This also includes the nut-driver-enumerator.sh (service and implementation
method) and upsdrvsvcctl (tool) to manage NUT drivers as service instances,
which are stored in ../upsdrvsvcctl/ subdirectory (portable codebase shared
with Linux systemd).
The default implementation (runs once) can be enabled with:
svcadm enable nut-driver-enumerator:default
Note that at the moment there is no out-of-the-box integration for triggering
a restart/refresh of the nut-driver-enumerator SMF service at the very instant
when the `ups.conf` file is modified, like there is with systemd path unit type.
Due to this, the systems administrator is expected to either invoke
`svcadm refresh nut-driver-enumerator` after changing the NUT configuration
or wait until the daemonized mode, if enabled, picks up the change (should do
so within a minute by default). However, a DTrace script or a tool like
https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch wrapped into a service might be used
for equivalent effect.
Alternatively, but somewhat more expensively, the same `nut-driver-enumerator.sh`
script can be executed in a loop as the payload of the SMF service to keep
inspecting the configuration and apply changes to the running system. It is
not a common use-case to keep changing device setups, so this solution is not
enforced by default ;) although a service variant is provided...
Note that only one of these can be enabled at the same time:
svcadm disable nut-driver-enumerator:default
svcadm enable nut-driver-enumerator:daemon
