ttymon Invocations on the System Console Managed by SMF

Solaris 10: ttymon invocations on the system console are managed by SMF. The addition of properties to the svc:/system/console-login:default service enables you to specify ttymon command arguments with the svccfg command. Note that these properties are specific to ttymon, not generic SMF properties.

You can no longer customize the ttymon invocation in the /etc/inittab file.

For step-by-step instructions on how to specify ttymon command arguments with SMF, see How to Set the ttymon Console Terminal Type.

For a complete overview of SMF, see Chapter 16, Managing Services (Overview), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration. For information on the step-by-step procedures that are associated with SMF, see Chapter 17, Managing Services (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
