To Start an Application in a Project

Steps

1. Create an application-based project for managing the application. Select the Do Not Use Match Expression check box.

   For detailed steps, see To Create an Application-Based Project.

2. Select from the following by the OS version:

   • For the Solaris 8 OS, type:

     % srmuser user_name newtask -p project_name application_name

     where user_name is the UNIX user name, and project_name is in the form user.username. In the Solaris 8 OS, because only the user-based container is supported, user_name and project_name are the same.

   • For the Solaris 9 or Solaris 10 OS, type:

     % newtask -p project_name application_name

     where project_name is the project that is associated with the container, and application_name is the command that starts the application, including any command arguments.

   The application is started in the container.

Example 4–6 Starting an Application Inside a Container on Solaris 9 or Solaris 10 OS

The following is an example of starting an application named tracks inside a container named music:

% newtask -p music tracks -z 0 mozart.au

where -z 0 mozart.au are the command-line arguments for the application tracks.

Example 4–7 Verifying an Application's Association With a Project

After the application has been started, you can verify which project the application is associated with by typing:

% ps -ae -o pid,project,comm

The following is an example of the output from this command:

  PID  PROJECT COMMAND
...
17771   default ora_smon_SunMC
16246   system rquotad
26760   group.staff /bin/csh
16266   music	 tracks
17777   default ora_d000_SunMC
17775   default ora_s000_SunMC
17769   default ora_ckpt_SunMC

In this example, the application named tracks has PID 16266, the project is music, and the executable is tracks. This is the same application started in Example 4–6.
