Issue/Introduction

Description:

Solaris 10 introduced some changes related to how services are started. The Autosys agent process: auto_remote is managed via the SMF facility. This document outlines a way to add or modify an environment variable for the auto_remote process.

Solution:

For example, to add /usr/local/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH follow these steps (as root):

1. Set the variable:
   
   Syntax: svccfg -s <service name> setenv -m <method name> <variable> <value>
   # svccfg -s network/auto_remote/tcp setenv -m inetd_start LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
   
   
2. Refresh the service to commit the changes:
   
   Syntax: svcadm refresh <service name>
   # svcadm refresh network/auto_remote/tcp
   
   
3. Restart inetd to enable the changes:
   
   Syntax: svcadm restart <service name>
   # svcadm restart inetd
