[ug-glug] Presentation at Next OpenSolaris Meeting, March 7

[Russell Rezaian]

Hello all,

Just another announcement.  We also plan to have the first part of a 
series of short presentations on the Service Management Framework at 
this coming meeting.

I'll be presenting on the SMF, starting out with a quick overview of 
what SMF is, and why it was developed.  I also intend to give the 
start of a short overview of how to use SMF.

Future presentations will go into more detail on actually building services.

SMF is the part of Solaris that replaces the familiar SVR4 style "rc 
scripts" with a more powerful and flexible framework.  SMF improves 
system boot time, and provides  more robust way of making sure OS 
services are not only started but kept in service too.

If you've ever written an rc script you should find SMF interesting! 
If you haven't ever written an rc script you're still welcome to join 
in!
